Suggested Careers or Career

Cluster Recommendations, or

2)If they are NOT satisfied

with the results they can

choose to answer additional

questions in order to refine

their results.

Once your student has

clicked on a career, you can

help them navigate using the

pursuing

Please make sure each student you work with

has saved information in each of these areas.

other resources students can use to

continue their plan after today. Discuss

be!

My Next Steps/Goals

After you have reviewed the

“My Next Steps” handout and

helped your students write

down what their next three

steps will be you can also

have them enter these “steps”

in their Career Cruising Plan in

the “My Goals & Plan” section.

Have your student click on

“Enter your short term goals”

Then s/he can type in all three

of the steps, or goals, they

have identified.

This will allow the school counselor to review their

goals and assess their progress in the future.

Completion

During the last breakout session

students will upload their My Life! My

Plan! Workshop Certificate of

Completion.

students can use to download the

certificate into their Career Cruising

Plan for future reference.

certificate by going to the “My Activities
