Career Cruising

Have you wondered ? “What does a designer do?  What careers would I be good at? How much does a carpenter make? Or what schools offer journalism?” Career Cruising is the place to go for all of the answers.   This is one of the key tools that we use for career and post-secondary planning.  The website is free to use for all West Mifflin High School students and provides not only valuable resources but also an online portfolio.  This website is an integral part of the curriculum at each grade level.  In the 9th grade careers class, students created a portfolio and took several career assessments.  In 10th grade,  students save careers into their portfolio, and as a junior search for and save schools to prepare for the college fair.  As a senior Career Cruising is a major source for the senior project as well post secondary schools and scholarships. Students need to document community service in the volunteer section to be eligible for the Challenge Program awards.  Take advantage of this great online tool.
