The Ohio Means Jobs website features a student section to engage students in grades Kindergarten through 12th grade to start thinking about their careers. It is an addition to the OCIS website that some of you may have already used in middle school or previously in high school to complete career interest inventories and other explanation.
If you go to the Ohio Means Jobs website you can take a guided tour on the site. I encourage you to create an account so that you can save your information and refer back to it in one place in the future. For example, if you complete career interest inventories or other assessments, the information is all saved in your “backpack” on the site. All of your information on the site is saved for you so if you started using the site when you were in elementary or middle school it will still be there for you to access and reference when you are in high school.
There are cool features on the site including the opportunity to create a budget including rent or house payment, grocery costs and utilities. The site also helps you know if the job areas you have indicated that you are considering will be adequate enough to meet your budget.
It is a fun site to get on and explore and can help spark areas that might interest you in your career exploration.
