What are the college/career development needs of your students?

▪ How do you set the stage for middle school

career development?

▪ How is the world of work different for your

students than it was for your students’ parents?

▪ How do you support first generation college

goers?

▪ What engages parents early to see college in

their children’s future and understand the resources available to make it a reality?

▪ Elementary-aged children are making choices that

influence their career goals and plans every day.

(Trice & McClellan, 1994)

▪ Around the age of 5, children begin to shape their

career aspirations. (Gottfredson, 1981)

▪ By the age of 9, some children begin eliminating

career choices that may require more ability than they believe they have. (Gottfredson, 1981)

▪ Beginning career development at the elementary

level assists students in making critical connections between current education & future success

(Auger, Blackhurst, & Wahl, 2005)
