Career Tree®

Inspire and empower students to complete their course of study—and thrive.

How It Works

Career Tree

Redefining Career Exploration

Today, the world has changed and it’s more imperative than ever to connect, engage, and answer why for young people. The Career Tree is an innovative perspective on doing just that—empowering you to deliver a dynamic competitive advantage to every young person you serve.

By driving ongoing dialogue, the Career Tree shows students and trainees what’s possible and how to get there. Powerful career exploration, goal-setting, and self-discovery motivate them to set career and lifestyle goals, see the relevance of their education, and perform at a higher level.

Changing the Narrative

In the Career Tree, you are leveraging a powerful narrative that focuses on the tremendous competitive advantage you deliver. Students, parents, legislators, and stakeholders need to know how your programs and pathways expand rather than limit young people’s opportunities—and now, you can tell this story.

This compelling narrative is instrumental in attracting and retaining significantly more of the right students, in the right programs, for the right reasons. Contrary to the old stigmas, career-focused learning opens up viable and rewarding careers at all levels. The Career Tree helps you shift this paradigm—creating a new understanding of your programs’ quality and empowering your entire organization to speak the same winning truth.

Attract & Retain
The RIGHT Students

The Career Tree is a game-changing classroom tool that can be adapted to many learning environments, including:

  • High schools

  • K–12 districts
  • Special needs classrooms
  • Technical and community colleges
  • Universities
  • Workforce development settings
  • Adult education centers
  • And many others

The Career Tree integrates with your existing curriculum to drive ongoing conversation, research, career exploration, goal-setting, student engagement, and in-class collaboration. Whether they’re headed to college, specialized postsecondary training, the military, or right into their career, the Career Tree equips young people to go with purpose, pursue their passion—and succeed.
