"Crack the Career Code" Career Module for Middle Schools

Middle School Teachers, Administrators and Counselors:
  • Do your students know what their interests are, and how these interests might inform possible careers? 
  • Do they know what education they will need for the career that fits them best?
  • Do your students know what CTE programs are available at our local high schools that may match their interests?
​
Help your students "crack the career code” with our new Career Exploration Module!
"Crack the Career Code" Career Module for Schools
Over the last year, Butte County CTE has developed and beta-tested a career exploration curriculum that is now available for local schools to utilize. Over the course of eight 45-minute sessions, 8th-grade students will explore their interests, investigate multiple career areas and review potential educational paths. At the end of this module, students will create a plan that they can use to start to reaching their career goals, starting with identifying a local high school that offers programs that match their interests.

How does it work?
  • Participating schools and teachers will independently utilize Butte County CTE-developed curriculum (designed to be used either in-person or virtually) which includes high-quality presentation slides, online resources, videos and a full-color workbook that students get to keep.
  • The module starts off with a careers pre-survey that identifies students’ current career planning knowledge. Butte County CTE will share the survey results in a parent education night to provide parents with information about this career module to start the conversation about career planning at home.
  • The end result of this module is a “Career Roadmap” individually created by each student to help them begin to plan out their future.
