| Abstract | Virtually every level of compulsory education features a Career Day program as part of a school's career guidance efforts. This paper proposes that Career Day programs can be improved to meet the career explorations and school-to-work needs of today's students. It advocates that the content of such programs be broadened so as to include more of the subtle aspects of career exploration and the job search process. All students, not just those who are college-bound, need career counseling. Likewise, literature reviews suggest that students need different kinds of help and that all students should be encouraged to gather information about careers and be able to recognize their strengths and weaknesses. Career Day programs can help meet students' needs by the increased use of role models. Since self-assessment includes grasping an understanding of interests, abilities, and aptitudes, role models can be invited to address how their interests, abilities, and aptitudes have influenced their career decisions. These experiences may be related to the classroom, to extra-curricular activities, or to a mentor. Role models can be used in a variety of formats, from presenting factual information, to using "how-to" strategies while sharing job description information. (RJM) |
