​Tuesday 8/28
4.  from yesterday, View Careerealism for Students--​a little dated but important message! (3:43)

Be sure all 3 completed career assessments are in your career folder.
For today's activity, you will need to use Career Assessment Summary Activity (I'll give you a hard copy)

1. 
 Take out your completed Sixteen Career Clusters Activity.  Go to the Education Planner site and complete the brief survey to REINFORCE your top clusters.  Once you hit submit, look at the results and record your top 3 clusters from THIS activity on the summary sheet.  See if they match your 16 Career Clusters survey. Then follow the links on the list of your top career clusters within this Education Planner site and look at some of the jobs.  List a job from each of your top three clusters from THIS Education Planner site.

2.  For # 2 on the Career Assessment Summary Activity worksheet, using your results from yesterday's completed South Dakota career interest survey,  Go to the Exploring Occupations of Interest Page to complete the next section of the summary sheet.
*Note: the Summary of Job Duties is now located ABOVE not below this row of icons.


3. Move on to the sheet labeled Career Interest Worksheet.  Go to Your Free Career Test. Click through the 60+ questions. You don't have to click right on radio button--just on the response. Please give the questions a little thought in terms of your future. Try NOT to answer "NOT interested" as many times as I did!  Once you finish, complete the back side of the Career Assessment Summary Worksheet.
**Note: If you are someone who is considering a HEALTH occupation or had HEALTH SCIENCE show up as one of your top clusters, please take this HEALTH Career Test, which is also accessible at the YourFreeCareerTest site under the Career Tests tab at the top left. It could help narrow down the infinite number of potential paths in the medical field.


​When you finish, Place EVERYTHING in your career folder and LEAVE IN THIS ROOM!
