An activity such as a job shadow, attendance at a career exposition, or employer site visit that provides an individual with the ability to engage directly with employers for the purpose of gaining knowledge of one or more industry sectors or occupations.
As part of a College and Career Pathway Endorsement, experiences in grades 6 through 12 may be included as career exploration activities, with at least one taking place in grades 9 through 12.
While related, a career exploration activity in and of itself does not constitute a career development experience.
