Our print materials are designed to make career exploration engaging and accessible for students of all ages. From RIASEC posters and career-connected conversation cards to job cards, these resources help spark meaningful discussions about interests, strengths, and future possibilities. Whether you're an educator, counselor, or career advisor, these tools provide hands-on ways to integrate career learning into your classroom or program.
These 48 activities across four domains prepare students for the evolving workforce by developing strengths, positive habits, and growth mindset. Students build vocational identity through exercises exploring interests and values, while expanding experiences and mapping opportunities to make informed career decisions. Through guided reflection, students connect personal aspirations with practical pathways, creating a bridge between dreams and career goals.
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.
Career Connected Schools foster a culture where future planning is part of daily life. Using a shared career language of RIASEC and engaging in dialogic conversations, students regularly explore strengths, interests, and values with teachers, peers, families, and partners—connecting school learning with life and career 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.
