Utilizing Student Licenses for an Individualized Approach

One of the biggest trials students face is deciding which career field is right for them. Point your students in the right direction with iCEV’s Career Cluster Interest Inventory (CCII).

Within this lesson, students take an individualized survey which assesses their personal strengths and weaknesses to help them find which industry is a good fit for them. They can then further explore their results with corresponding projects and activities.

Students can explore a variety of career options to help them better determine their interest and future education.

Navigating the Lesson Page

By default, the CCII lesson will be the first lesson of any Career Exploration course. We recommend this placement as the results of the CCII will help students as they complete the rest of the course.

The CCII lesson will look similar to most other PowerPoint® type lessons within iCEV. Take note of the location of the PowerPoint® presentation, lesson plan, student handout and CCII survey.

You can use the "Visible to Students" checkboxes to toggle the visibility of the activities for your students.

Step 4:

Once the survey is completed, the CCII will rank and graph the student’s most applicable careers and interests from high to low. With results in-hand, have your students determine which Career Clusters scored highest.

Step 5:

Have your students complete the Exploring Careers lessons which correspond to the Career Clusters they scored highest on. They should watch the video and also complete projects and activities to further their understanding of potential career options.
