Do you love to help people learn and succeed? If so, a career in education and training could be one of the most rewarding for you! With a well-documented teacher shortage on the horizon and a continual need for educational support staff, the career outlook in this career field remains positive.

Kuder Navigator, the district’s career information system, helps students explore and prepare for various options after high school. Students take assessments beginning in middle school that identifies their interests, skills and work values that are matched up to career clusters, pathways and occupations.
