Program Description
As part of their 7-12 education, students in the Corvallis
School District are required to complete career-related learning
activities designed to help them develop an understanding of
their personal strengths and interests and to set goals for
their future. The hope is that by exploring during their middle
and high school years students will learn career-related life
skills and values that will help them to be successful in the
world of work and/or the pursuit of a higher education degree.
Career-related learning experiences
and activities help your child to connect what they are learning
in school to the real world. They give them an opportunity to
demonstrate their employability skills – like communication,
problem solving, and teamwork – in real situations. They also
give them the chance to explore a variety of work settings and
jobs and learn valuable new skills. If they approach their
experiences thoughtfully, they will gain new insights about
their education plans and career goals.

-
Support the educational goals of the school district
