Vermont Career Connect
Vermont Career Connect is a virtual career exploration program to help Middle School students:
-
think about the future
-
explore new possibilities
-
hear directly from people in a wide variety of careers about their work
On the Vermont Career Connect website, you’ll find a career interest survey, links to videos organized by career cluster, resources for exploring careers, and training requirements. You will also find an activity to help students reflect on what they’ve watched. The activity is designed to help students identify next steps in their career planning journey. Click on each tab to access these materials.
