Junior+High+Career+Cruising

 back  CAREER CRUISING is a web based career exploration tool. Career Cruising uses an interest inventory and abilities questionnaire to narrow down a list of possible careers the student may enjoy and excel at. Each career is a link to more information about that career including a description, the educational path needed for that career, the career outlook, approximate pay scales, interviews with people in that career, schools that provide training for that career, and more. Students can create a portfolio within Career Cruising where they save any information they like and want to remember. Students can learn more about 2- and 4-year colleges, do side-by-side comparisons of schools and follow links to different schools' websites. Career Cruising also has a resume-builder component where any information that is entered is formatted into a resume. As long as East Dubuque has access to Career Cruising, a student will be able to access their account, and all information will be saved. In the journal section, students can write about their current interests and post-high school plans, and later compare their answers to when they were younger. Some teachers are using Career Cruising in the classroom, and I also work with students individually through the program. Parents are welcome to log on and create their own username to do some exploring of their own!

Career Cruising is available wherever there is internet.
