Career development is viewed as a continuous journey rather than a one-time event. From the early grades through high school, students engage in sustained exploration, reflection, and planning—both in and beyond the classroom. This ongoing engagement helps them build self-awareness, develop their voice, and adjust their goals over time as they learn more about themselves and the world of work.

Rather than relying on isolated activities or single-year touchpoints, schools foster career learning by returning to these conversations regularly and intentionally. This flexible, responsive approach supports students in becoming adaptable, future-ready thinkers. To help educators bring this vision to life, we’ve curated 48 Activities Aligned to the Dialogic Process. These activities can be used wherever conversations about the future are welcome—whether integrated into curriculum maps, embedded in clubs or after-school programs, included in advisory or homeroom sessions, or anywhere career-connected dialogue can take root.
