Why this work matters

Career curious school cultures recognize that conversations about future careers are a natural part of student life. Through regular discussions and opportunities to engage with people and information about the world of work, students discover their career identity and understand how their education connects to their future. By treating career exploration as a normal part of everyday  learning, students develop the autonomy to evaluate their growth, consider their options, and create paths toward their goals.

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.
