A complete career education program in school begins in kindergarten and continues at least through high school.In kindergartens and elementary schools,youngsters learn about different types of work.In junior middle schools,children begin to explore the occupations and leisure activities that interest them most.In high schools,students get more specific information about occupations and life styles.They may learn how to make career decisions in classrooms,small groups or individual sessions.They also should obtain the skills they need for further study or for a job after graduation.Many colleges and universities also offer career education through their counseling programs.Counselors provide information on such matters as how to locate and apply for jobs and how to be successful in interviews. Teachers and counselors use a variety of methods to provide career education,including films about occupations or industries.Children may invite parents or other adults to come to school and describe their jobs.A student may accompany a worker on his or her job for some time.
