How Early Should Students Start Career Exploration?
There is value in starting career exploration early, but early exploration should not become early pressure.
Younger students can begin with
Noticing what they enjoy; exploring different occupations; trying activities; identifying patterns in their strengths.
Older students can add
Skills analysis; career research; course investigation; work experience; internships; career conversations.
The appropriate depth changes with age and decision stage
The goal is not: "Choose your lifetime career now." It is: "Start learning about yourself and the world of work early enough to make important decisions with better information."
Your career journey does not have to begin with knowing everything. It can begin with understanding yourself better.
