New Career Development Toolkit Available

The Career Development Toolkit is a central library of electronic tools and resources developed to support counselors, teachers, administrators, and career guidance professionals as they help students and parents make good decisions about their education and career options—all within the context of career clusters. The toolkit is available at: www.acrnetwork.org/counselortk

The toolkit has four primary areas targeting career development professionals' work with students: Career Planning; High School, Postsecondary and Work Preparation; Postsecondary Selection and Labor Market. Each area provides tools to guide students through career exploration and assessments, career clusters, programs of study, postsecondary education and training options, internships, job searching and more.

Professional Practices, a fifth area of the Toolkit, offers information on professional development and the changing role of the career development professional, as well as resources to support professionals as they market career clusters and develop strategic partnerships.  This section also highlights comprehensive guidance programs, promising state models, and evaluation.
