Career Exploration through Books

Help me give my students access to reading materials that will grow their interest in career development.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Buckler's classroom raised $934

This project is fully funded

My Project

The proposed books for this career development project will be used to allow my STEAM students to explore, research and share out their findings with their peers. In our district, we have the highest unemployed rate in the State of Ohio. We have data to support our kids are living examples of generational poverty. How can we break this mold?

Choosing a specific career path isn't necessary at a young age, on the contrary, research suggests it’s about helping students be on the lookout for future career possibilities.

The elementary years are full of self-discovery and career exploration is one way kids can learn about themselves and the world around them through access to a variety of books and discussion!
