Materials That Make Career Conversations Possible

Here are some articles to experience these resources, n in action!t, and talk about it. The Career Connected Toolkit puts those materials directly in the hands of educators and program leaders, giving everyone a shared set of tools for conversations about who students are and where they might go. Every piece is built around a common career language. A poster on the wall, a card deck on the table, and a question asked in advisory all reinforce the same ideas, so students hear consistency instead of scattered messages. Use them in a single lesson, across a grade level, or throughout a program. The materials work wherever career conversations happen.

The Core Toolkit

RIASEC Card Deck

Six cards, one per RIASEC theme. Each names a type in plain language, Thinkers, Creators, Helpers, then lists what those people like to do and careers they might pursue. Students sort and rank the deck to identify their own themes.

A Common Career Language Poster

A full-color poster that establishes a common career language. Six themes, each named in plain language with a checklist of what those people like to do, so students can identify the themes that answer the question, who are you? Option for either the K-2 or 3-12 verison.

Good Questions Drive Career Conversations 

Forty-eight questions organized around four stages: Who Are You? How Are You Growing? What Are Your Options? Where Are You Headed? Twelve topics give educators ready prompts for any moment, from a student's strengths and values to their goals and dreams.

Let's Connect Careers Poster 

Career connections live in every subject. This poster moves outward from You to People to the World, helping students link what they are learning to their own interests, the people around them, and the opportunities waiting beyond the classroom. Option for either the K-2 or 3-12 version.

Let's Connect Careers Card

Twelve sentence stems connect any lesson to students themselves, the people who do this work, and where it could lead. Four questions across three columns, plus ten ways to use them, from welcoming activity to ticket out the door.

Activity Guides

Guides matched to your grade level. K-2 teachers build career language and habits with younger students. Grades 3-12 teachers drop fifteen-minute activities into any class period and follow a thirteen-activity pathway of chat prompts and reflection.



The Expanded Toolkit includes all the Core Tools above, plus

Job Card Deck

Fifty careers, each on its own card with the tasks, skills, tools, and job outlook that define it. Cards are color-coded to RIASEC themes so students can trade, sort, and swap as they explore what different work actually looks like.

Career Image Card Deck

Fifty images across a wide range of themes, paired with questions that invites students to respond. Images give students an entry point when they are still finding words for their interests, and connect what they see to their RIASEC themes.
