Understand the dialogic
The RIASEC model, created by John Holland, classifies work environments into six distinct themes: Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional. This model helps individuals align their interests, skills, and values with potential career paths, thereby supporting informed decisions about jobs and educational pursuits. Widely used in career planning and counseling, the RIASEC model offers a structured approach to exploring vocational identities and understanding how personal preferences can lead to fulfilling careers.

Understand the dialogic
A dialogic process in career advising is an interactive, conversation-based approach that emphasizes building strong relationships between career advisors and students through meaningful discussion. The process incorporates:
- Open-ended questions that encourage deeper exploration
- Active listening techniques for engagement & understanding
- Reflective questioning that promotes self-discovery
- Trust-building practices that create safe spaces for honest conversation
WHY THIS WORK MATTERS
Career-curious school cultures treat career exploration as a natural and essential part of everyday learning. In these environments, students are regularly engaged in meaningful conversations about their future, both formally through instruction and informally through interactions with teachers, peers, and mentors. By consistently connecting classroom learning to the real world of work, students begin to understand how their strengths, interests, and values align with future possibilities. Exposure to diverse career paths, workplace experiences, and adult role models helps students discover their evolving career identity. As they grow, they develop the autonomy to reflect on their progress, evaluate their choices, and confidently plan paths toward their personal and professional goals.
GET CAREER CONNECTED
Career Connected Schools foster a culture where future planning is woven into the fabric of everyday learning. By using a shared career language rooted in the RIASEC framework and engaging students in meaningful, dialogic conversations, these schools create spaces where career exploration is ongoing, relevant, and personal. Students are encouraged to reflect on their strengths, interests, and values not only with teachers, but also with peers, family members, and community partners. These regular conversations help students make powerful connections between what they learn in school and the lives they want to lead—building a strong sense of purpose and direction for their educational and career journeys.
