Career Cruising for K-12

I have a few students who are so disconnected from school. But when we started the unit on Career Cruising something changed...I attribute their engagement to the authenticity of the work and quality of the Career Cruising web site.

Create Successful Futures

Helping students build a future plan connecting school to real life positively impacts their academic achievement, classroom engagement, and career and life success. Motivated students contribute to higher-performing schools and stronger communities (see evidence here).

Start the Career Conversation Early

Career Cruising’s engaging interface gets students excited about exploring their options, interests, and aspirations through interactive games starting in K-2, followed by career activities and assessments in later grades. Because the program is so easy to use, educators spend less time explaining and more time focusing on activities that make an impact.

Connect the Dots Between Academics and Life

Career Cruising connects the real world to the classroom with the latest career and labor market information, salaries, and educational pathways – all written in a way that’s easy to understand. Students also learn essential 21st-century skills like financial literacy and goal-setting through video interviews, role-playing activities, and more.
