Discuss as a class: * how did developing transferable skills allow each individual (including you, as the teacher, if applicable) maximize his/her career options after high school? Ask students: * What are your career goals? Does anyone here know what they want to be when they grow up? * What ideas do you have? * Are any of the careers you looked at today interesting to you? Why or why not? record this brainstorm on the board. Close class by letting students know that they'll be working on learning more about career paths so they can develop the transferable skills they'll need to set themselves up for successful career paths in the future.
