PERSONALIZED CAREER EXPERIENCES

HANDS-ON CAREER-FOCUSED PROJECTS
Defined Careers™ has 79 career pathways and 450+ career-focused projects across 16 career clusters. Using their assessment results, students choose between two recommended career pathways that best fit their academic and career interests. Once on a career path, students work through a series of hands-on performance tasks giving them the opportunity to apply their knowledge and skills to real-world challenges to better understand if a career is for them.
