This program supports learners in building foundational career planning skills and preparing to use tools such as myBlueprint in high school. Through interactive activities and guided discussions, learners explore their interests, strengths, and goals while developing an understanding of how these connect to future pathways. Participants will build confidence in describing themselves, making connections between school and future careers, and beginning the process of informed decision-making.
