Career Exploration

High school is a time for students to explore options for their future and one major aspect includes investigating careers. Most students are unsure of how different majors might lead to specific careers and exactly what various jobs involve. We are trying to assist students by providing them with information from a wide range of careers and our hope is that you will help us!

This is a link to a brief questionnaire (28 questions) that we would like you to complete regarding your job. We would greatly appreciate your help in completing the survey! We will be compiling the information provided through these questionnaires to create a career resource handbook for our students.

In addition to the career handbook, we are also planning a career fair for the students at Worthington Kilbourne High School. If you live in the central Ohio area, we invite you to join us for the career fair on Friday, November 19th. All career representatives will be given an assigned table area set up in a manner similar to a health fair or trade show and students will be able to talk to you informally in one-on-one conversations or in small groups. We will create a handout using the career information you provide in the questionnaire and while you do not need to bring anything else, you are also welcome to bring samples of any aspects of your job as a “show and tell” for the students.
