Career Explorations Credit Template
Turn "what are you doing after graduation?" into a half credit on the transcript.
You're the expert on your kid
You've watched them longer than anyone. But you also aren't in your student's head. They have their own lived experience and ideas. This plan gives you both a structure, so career exploration becomes something you do together on purpose.
Your student leaves with options they're excited about and a stronger relationship with you. Use it as is, or adjust it to fit your family.

The Career Explorations Course
This template is the map. The course is the guided route: 20+ lessons written to your student, printable worksheets, the Design Snapshot and Fit Check tools, and a printed Parent Packet with what to look for at each step.
Founding families: $39 (regular $75) for the first 20 families, with code FOUNDING.
The Career Direct Package
Chapter 2 is where most families get stuck. Career Direct is a guided assessment plus two consultations with me, and it gives you and your student a shared language for the rest of the course. Those hours count toward Chapter 2.

A few questions
Do I have to give my email to get it?
No. Click the button and the PDF opens right away.
Do we need Career Direct to use the template?
No. It's a strong way to start Chapter 2, but the template works on its own.
Can this become a full credit?
Yes. Page 3 of the template shows how to stretch it to 1.0 credit with a second semester of hands-on work.
What's the difference between the template and the course?
The template shows you how the credit is set up. The course walks your student through every step of it, with lessons, worksheets, and a Parent Packet. Take a look at the course.
