This Activities book is an inexpensive, interactive, and convenient way to add career awareness and career exploration to your middle- or junior-high school curriculum. The activities are designed to be used with the Young

 Person’s Occupational Outlook Handbook.   The Activities book is for individual student use in class or as homework. It helps young people interact with the Young Person’s Occupational Outlook Handbook information on over 270 jobs, including work duties, skills needed, required education, related school classes, related jobs, earnings, and more. In addition, students learn how to set goals, research careers using a reference book and the Internet, and read a help-wanted ad. They also are introduced to job interviews.

Many but not all of the activities require students to consult the Young Person’s Occupational Outlook Handbook. In addition, students can begin some activities by looking up information in the Young Person’s Occupational Outlook Handbook and then finish them without the book in hand.

The Activities book meets National Career Development Guidelines for middle/junior high school competencies IV, V, VI, and VII. Specifically, it helps young people learn the benefits of educational achievement to career opportunities (IV), understand the relationship between work and learning (V), develop the skills to locate and use career information (VI), and learn about the skills necessary to obtain jobs (VII).
