Career Planning
Hi Strickers,
If you are uncertain about what to do after high school, you can start with a career test to explore your options. Alternatively, consider volunteering in areas that interest you or trying out part-time or summer jobs to begin your career journey. Experience is the best teacher, and you will find your answer only when you start to act!
You will find more information on career exploration, volunteer resources, and employment information when you scroll down a bit.
