(2) The student is required to write a narrative describing their desired career aspirations or college major. (3) We direct the student to complete a free interest profile and to write a narrative summarizing any differences between careers that match their interests and their previously established career or college major. (4) We review the student’s narrative, together with a review of the student’s résumé; transcript; high school profile; PSAT, SAT, ACT, and/or ASVAB score reports; and career clusters offered by the student’s school or school district. (5) We host a meeting with the student and parents to discuss the student’s career or college aspirations and the results of their interest profile. (6) Based on what is shared by the student, and the available career or college pathways offered by the student’s school or school district, we draft recommended actions to maximize available opportunities within the student’s school or school district during the meeting. (7) We discuss strategies to be pursued and actions to be taken within the context of the student’s current year of high school through the 12th grade to maximize the student’s career or college opportunities.
