LEARNING
STANDARDS FOR:
CAREER DEVELOPMENT AND OCCUPATIONAL
STUDIES
AT THREE LEVELS
Standard 1: Career
Development
Students will be knowledgeable about
the world of work, explore career options, and relate personal skills,
aptitudes, and abilities to future career decisions.
Intermediate
1. Students will learn about the changing nature
of the workplace, the value of work to society, and the connection
of work to the achievement of personal goals.
Students:
- continue development of a career plan that
would assist in the transition from school to eventual entry into
a career option of their choosing

interests, skills, and abilities to successful employment

requirements of three career options, including those considered
nontraditional*

and match them to career options*

of working for someone else with owning a business
