Using the assessment as a guide, each student is provided a personalized list of career pathways projects and hands-on performance tasks that allow students to experience the careers at a deeper level.

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 2 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.

ONLINE PORTFOLIO

As students complete their performance tasks, their products are saved in an online student portfolio so educators and support staff can track and manage each student’s growth as they explore more careers.

The online portfolio will follow students year to year as they advance their career explorations.

Testimonial

“Defined Careers connects learners with the career pathway options that interest them most. Students can explore those pathways and experience a performance-based task similar to what they would expect to see in that actual career. Giving young learners those opportunities to solve real problems helps them identify a future pathway. The tasks keep my student engaged and interested in learning.”
