Ingraham High School – Career Connect 1 - Semester

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

Any realistic career planning must begin with developing a better understanding of oneself. The purpose of this course is to provide students with instruction in the career planning process directly related to local industry data, career interest, and skill attainment. Through the course, students will be developing a professional career portfolio, which includes career assessments, resumes, cover letters, and artifacts of student’s work that demonstrate their 21st century skills. Students will evaluate their employability skills, identify their personal values, learning styles, personality types, and career interests as they start to plan for their future through authentic classroom projects, career panels, field trips, internships and job interviews. Students can explore future careers, set goals and create a professional portfolio in order to be successful in their transition to life after high school.
