Career Exploration helps you figure out what careers match your interests and what it takes to get there, whether that means college, vocational training, apprenticeships or something else. You can also learn about how much you might earn in different jobs, what the job market looks like, and what it's actually like to work in those fields. You will be able to learn what classes and opportunities at BHS will help you gain skills and experience as you continue on your journey. So, whether you're dreaming of being a doctor, an artist, an electrician or anything else, career exploration can make the path to your future career a lot clearer and more exciting.

It offers a user-friendly platform where students can set and track their academic and career goals, explore various career pathways and colleges, trade programs, assess their skills and interests, and offers in-depth insights into career options, job market data, and educational pathways to help students make well-informed decisions about their future, making it an invaluable resource for both high school planning and broader career exploration.
