Externships are a less intense version of an internship. Instruct students to contact professionals in three career areas they are considering, and then "shadow" that person for a day to get a feel for what that job entails.
Instruct students to keep a written record of careers they could be interested in pursuing, as well as careers they have definitely ruled out and why. This way, students can keep track of their career exploration.
There are a multitude of quizzes and questionnaires available to help career searchers pinpoint their best options. Visit online sites to get your research rolling.
Encourage students to think outside the box for their career exploration. Have them think up and research as many unusual and interesting careers in their field of study as they can discover.
Organize a career fair for students interested in career exploration. Invite representatives from a wide variety of professions to attend and discuss career options with fair participants.
