Career Cruising
Career Cruising is a self-exploration and planning program that helps people of all ages achieve their potential in school, career and life.
Users learn about themselves—their interests, skills, preferences and aspirations—so they can explore the opportunities right for them. They learn about career possibilities and educational pathways by exploring rich, engaging content. A dynamic, actionable plan outlines the steps needed to achieve career, school and life goals. Plans are then brought to life—whether for a career, job or college—by taking informed action.
