Districts and states are rethinking how they approach career planning for students—including starting the process in the early grades and involving more school staff. Research highlights the importance of tailoring advising practices to the needs of individual students by broadening the scope of advising and increasing the support offered by additional school staff. But how do you get young children to start thinking about future careers? How do you support a whole-school planning model that includes staff beyond guidance counselors or administrators?

During this webinar, a panel of state and district practitioners leading the field of whole-school career planning will provide valuable insights into designing and implementing effective advising systems that enhance career pathways for all students. This event will cover opportunities and challenges of whole-school career planning, benefits of comprehensive career advising systems, key elements of career planning, and strategies for improving career readiness and awareness. The webinar will close with a question-and-answer session with all presenters and panelists answering audience questions.
