“What do you want to be when you grow up?”

Expose counselors to

information they can

share with students and

parents so better

education and career

choices can be made.

Goal for this workshop:

5/19/2014

2

20 million Americans (17%) change jobs each year.

41% of adults said they had a career plan.

69% said if they were starting over, they would try to get more

career information.

Educational “false starts” cost

in tuition, possible occupational

mismatches, employee

turnover, and unemployment.

Why is career planning important?

What Students Would Have Done Differently

To Be Successful in Today’s Labor Market

Been more careful about selecting a major in

college

Done more internships or worked part time

Would have started looking for work much

sooner (while still in college)

Would have taken more classes to prepare

for a career

Would have gone to a different college

Something else

Would not have gone to college

Effects of Dropouts

According to a report by the Alliance for Excellent

Education, if 1,000 more students graduated:

They would earn a combined $11 million in

added earnings in a year

They would spend an additional $1.1 million

each year

By the midpoint of their careers, they would

buy homes worth $23 million more than they

would have without a diploma

They would support 60 new jobs, increasing

state revenue by almost $1 million a year
