| Career Exploration |
We begin career exploration in earnest in grade 10, using a number of tools available on the internet. For students planning to study in Mexico and some other countries, this is especially important, as they must apply directly to a particular career at university. Those going on to the United States and often Canada have more time to choose their major, usually after 1-2 years in college. Even if they must apply to a particular program upon entry, they generally have time to change without jeopardizing the credits they have earned. Within the American School of Puerto Vallarta we provide all students with a membership to myroad.com, our principal tool for vocational guidance and part of the CollegeBoard, of which we are a member. You might want to explore the career development guide called Steps to Success from Waterloo University in Canada. Many other online tools are available, including one used at nycareerzone.org in the State of New York that allows you to create a free account and then follow the links to assess yourself using a test developed by the U.S. Department of Labor. The assessment suggests a list of possible careers, depending on your interests and the number of years you want to study. Another site that provides multiple tools is mycoolcareer.com. Most of the links on this site are free, but some of the more complex assessment sites charge a fee.
