School to Career

By Brian Hutchison, Grace Wambu, Harry T. Smith, Ed.D., et al.

School to Career guides students through the important 21st-century life and career skills they will need as they explore careers, assess their abilities, and engage in opportunities with Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs), work-based learning, and planning for the future. By studying this text, students will learn personal skills, decision-making skills, and employability skills in preparation for the challenges they will face after graduation. This college and career-readiness text includes a new design that brings fresh and current examples to engage the modern student. The 13th edition reflects modern career practices and includes instruction on curriculum vitae (CV), cover letter, updated technology in the workplace (remote work structures, data privacy, artificial intelligence), modern banking practices, 403(b) retirement plans, credit history and credit limit, and healthy habits like developing a growth mindset.

A revitalized assessment strategy provides more than 300 new questions that address all levels of critical thinking and introduces a logical assessment path. Personal Development Plan activities provide a project-based, hands-on learning experience with real-world applications. By completing a Personal Development Plan, students will develop a route to help achieve their academic, personal, and professional goals. Classroom to Career Portfolio activities provide guidance in creating a personal portfolio to use when exploring volunteer, education and training, and career opportunities. This edition is correlated to the YouScience(R) Industry Certifications 21st Century Success Skills exam and the Preparing for College and Careers exam. It is also correlated to NOCTI 21st Century Skills for Workplace Success and Employability Skills credentials.
