Post High School Planning What does this look like for ME? College? Military? Work? Soon you will be working in student program called Naviance. This will expose you not only to career ideas but also to your personality traits, your strengths and your weaknesses! Take this seriously & the results will help you. Again, this is for exploration- not to make final career decisions!

COLLEGE PLANNING- Get a Jump Start: WHEN LOOKING AT COLLEGES CONSIDER: HELPFUL SITES: • WHAT’S IMPORTANT TO YOU? • LOCATION WWW.COLLEGEBOARD.COM • SIZE OF SCHOOL WWW.SUNY.EDU • MAJORS OFFERED WWW.WNY.COLLEGECONNECTION.COM • SPORTS • COST ALWAYS CHECK THE COLLEGE’S WEBSITE AND • ADMISSIONS REQUIREMENTS VISIT COLLEGES YOU ARE INTERESTED IN!

Military Options- Talking to your parents and meeting with recruiters/ finding out all of the correct information/Get involved in youth programs before you commit Working Full time- Taking the time to work part time and volunteer/ Using your CTE program to Capstone or Shadow/ Trying different jobs and talking to people in a variety of careers

Next Steps………. Be sure to ask for help. Make sure you are keeping communication open at home about your future. Talk to adults that can help you. Find out as much information as you can. Time will start to move quickly during your Junior Year! You will start to feel pressure about making decisions. Remember you have help- ask for it!! Use the tools we provide to you- like Naviance!

Next Steps……... Take your post secondary plans seriously. Have fun the next 2 years- but start to think about what comes next. Get involved in a variety of school and community activities/ get to know people and don’t sit back and watch the 2 years fly by!!

Where do we go from here………. Tomorrow, we will review transcripts and choose classes for junior year. You will need to make a decision about your CTE program. This decision needs to be YOUR decision- do not pick a program just because your friend is taking it! Discuss process of dropping…

QUESTIONS? If you are thinking it… Ask it !!!!
