If you are a graduating senior, the task of picking a career or education pathway can be a daunting task, possibly the reason why so many students plan to "figure it out later". Committing time to research occupations and educational options is competing against a plethora of more exciting activities, but the value of gaining some baseline knowledge and direction can empower you to achieve your dream job.
If you are thinking, "yes, but where do I begin?" I've got some good news for you!
The Lyft Initiative in cooperation with the Labor Market Information Office at DEED has created a terrific roadmap to help along the way so no matter where you are in the process there are things you can do to leave high school on the right foot. You can watch this short video to get started!
You'll also find other resources there, including a link to an interactive Road Map and DEED's new Career Pathways tool, which can help you explore pathways and learn about the most demanded jobs in your region. The Career Pathways tool sorts the information by region, so you can find data on the careers in demand in Central Minnesota!
