Our school is really putting a lot of resources into career planning for high schoolers - job shadows, internships, apprenticeships, interviews with people in the field, exposing kids to different career clusters (e.g. healthcare, business/finance, law, trades, hospitality, etc.) so that the students graduate with some idea of what fields match with their skills and interests as opposed to going in totally blind.

I think it's AWESOME and I wish more high schools emphasized it. [/quote]
