General Career Awareness Activities

Many middle and high schools offer career awareness activities. These activities can range from "Go To Work With A Parent Day" to Career fairs and career days where professionals from various fields provide workshops about their professions and are available to answer questions. Personnel planning these activities need to be encouraged to include special education as a career field. Keeping in mind that discussing the possibility of "becoming a teacher" with their teachers was one of the most influential factors in determining a career choice.
