For students, deciding what career to pursue can be an overwhelming
task. Students who have a general or specific idea of the career
they would like to pursue have an easier time choosing a college
major, and getting started right away into the coursework required
for that career. Our desire is to help students explore their strengths
and interests, and to encourage self-awareness in these areas.
We encourage career related internships and summer jobs, and work
with our students to help them through the process of finding a
field of study that fits their unique strengths and interests.
Career exploration opportunities through LFHS:
College/Career
Resource Center
The CRC contains many books and resources on career exploration
such as: The Occupational Outlook Handbook which is based on John
Holland's career theory and can be checked out at the desk.
Campbell Interest and Skills Inventory
This well researched evaluation tool helps students by asking questions
about their strengths and interests. They are scored by comparing
these to the strengths and interests of those who have reported
being happy with their jobs. All Sophomores take this inventory
with their counselor in the spring and receive the results in the
early fall of junior year.
