In three to five years, your student will likely be moving out of your house. Will they be ready to start a career or be able to effectively plan their college career to prepare them to excel in the workforce?
Homeschooled students have many opportunities to be prepared for a career, often earlier than their public school counterparts, but knowing what opportunities to pursue can be a significant challenge. What careers will still be around in four years, how will AI change those careers, what jobs will pay well, and what careers are a good match for the personality and temperament of my student?
In this semester-long class, students will spend time learning about themselves and careers where they might do well and enjoy and make a good living. We will also look at a Biblical understanding of work and how it can be a rewarding part of life, rather than a drudgery that you endure until the weekend.
Students will also learn important career-launching skills, like resume building, networking, and interviewing, as well as basic skills in financial and business literacy.
By the end of the class, students will:
-
Know themselves better
-
Gain a sense of God’s callings, gifts and purposes for themselves
-
Build experiences that help them gain confidence
-
Build experiences that help them eliminate career choices or explore career choices
(each is good) - Determine what degree or professional training they should pursue for different careers
-
Be better prepared for life
