WEB SITES FOR CAREER EXPLORATION Students are being introduced to the Futures 4 Kids web portal (www.f4k.org). Students can enter the middlecreek code and use this site to explore careers. Students register (using their NCWISE password) and take a brief inventory. They can then read about at least 40 careers. Each career features interviews, discussion boards, employment information, and for some, “A day in the life of…” videos. This web portal continues to expand and add new features, such as career coaches and discussion boards. Another site that we are encouraging students to become familiar with is College Foundation of North Carolina (www.cfnc.org). Once students have identified what they want to study after high school, the cfnc.org site allows them to find a place in North Carolina where they can get the additional education that they will need. The cfnc.org site is one of the best places to begin the search for scholarship information since every school lists all of the scholarships that they offer. Students can match their personal preferences with postsecondary schools at the College Fair Matching Assistant. The more familiar students become with this site, the easier it will be for them to navigate to information that they need. You may contact Dr. Wimmer at bwimmer@wcpss.net or at 773-3870.
