This poster is a creative and engaging way for students to collect information for a research project about careers. Students can participate in internet research or they can interview someone to collect information about a career that is appealing to them! These can be used as graphic organizers or for poster presentations and bulletin board work. See my bigger careers unit here! In this unit, students take a career interest inventory and begin to investigate careers that might be of interest to them.

Career Exploration Unit and Classroom Project: This career counseling classroom unit allows students the opportunity to reflect on their own interests using a color coded based interest survey based on John Holland’s 6 personality types. Students discuss in pairs their common interests and hobbies and complete a brainstorming activity. Students receive a list of possible careers related to their colors and choose one to conduct further internet research. Of course, none of this dictates their future! This is to get them thinking and reflecting. What’s included: Lesson plan Color coded career interest inventory Partner Venn diagram and T chart Color coded career lists Internet research checklist to review how to find good internet resources Final project poster
