Unit 1 Career Exploration
Teamwork
Work with two classmates to research career information and
present it to the class. Select a career area and present a career
ladder showing how a person can advance from one job to
another. Decide as a team how to divide the work. Prepare a written plan
outlining who will do each task. Find the following facts for each job listed
on the career ladder: the predicted job growth or decline, the anticipated
earnings, the skills and academic preparation needed, and whether a
license or certificate is required. Present the findings to the class using
charts, graphs, or pictures.

expectations has on your success?
