Hey, middle school teachers! How do you start transition planning to help kids think about their futures at an early age?

This week the Indiana Secondary Transition Resource Center is highlighting three online career exploration pages from the Virginia Career View website: 

• Unusual Occupations
  • Learn more about 27 different occupations. Includes links to videos, games, and more: http://www.vacareerview.org/68/whats-that/unusual-occ
• Career Clusters
  • Compare data on educational requirements, income, and projected market for jobs in 20 different career clusters: http://www.vacareerview.org/68/career-clusters-whats-that/explore-career-clusters
• Career Search
  • Find information on more than 900 careers by searching for either job title or within a career cluster: http://www.vacareerview.org/68/careersq/career-search

We’ve added these sites to INSTRC’s Transition Resources, so you’ll be able to find them there. We've also created an authentic assessment you can use to capture information from all three sites. Click here for the Career Exploration authentic assessment. It’s also now up and running on the INSTRC Transition Assessment Matrix. https://instrc.indiana.edu/transition-resources/transition-matrix.html

Happy exploring!
