Missouri Connections provides in-depth resources for educators and students, however learning and understanding how to drill down within the resources may be a feature many might not be familiar with. Participants will learn additional steps and strategies that will enhance their students use of Missouri Connections. Through a deeper dive into careers, participants will learn how to guide students towards learning more details about an occupation, education/training, job outlooks, necessary skills, salary, etc. about specific careers. In addition, this workshop will show how to locate post-high school training centers and college/universities that offer preparation for a chosen program of study. The information shared during this session is essential for students to make informed decisions about their future.

Schools are considered the institution where young adults prepare themselves for their future. MSIP 6 contains several standards and indicators that relate to Career Planning and Development. During this workshop, we will focus on four priority objectives:

• Recognizing and Defining the Success Ready Student

• Identifying your Career Awareness and Planning Indicators

• Implementation of a Career Awareness and Planning Process

• Student Career Planning Resources within Missouri Connections

Participants will be asked to reflect on current practices, weigh their progress, and establish action steps to reach the desired goals they have for their school community. We will discuss progression sequence grades K-12; using worksheets, activities, and self-survey's within Missouri Connections and Career Trek.

This workshop is ideal for Administrators, Counselors, and Teacher Leaders, who can support the implementation of your career development system.

Note - This session is also available as an on-site workshop for faculty and/or Career Implementation Teams. Please contact Jeff (beiswingerj@missouri.edu) or Jay (webster@ucmo.edu) for additional information
