2)If they are NOT satisfied
with the results they can
choose to answer additional
questions in order to refine
their results.
Exploring Careers
Once your student has
clicked on a career, you can
help them navigate using the

covering all the material and
saving information into “My

colleges to their plan by

My Plan
Once your students have finished exploring, have
them go to the home page and click on the ‘My
Plan’ button right underneath their name.! You
should be able to find the following:

Matchmaker
• My Education – the school you are interested
in
attending after high school

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
with then what their next steps could
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.
The facilitator will provide a link that the
students can use to download the
certificate. Then, s/he can upload the
certificate into their Career Cruising
Plan for future reference.
Have your students upload the
certificate by going to the “My Activities
