Future planning in the early years means seizing on the excitement and energy elementary students have for learning – about themselves and their interests. Fostering that curiosity for self-exploration creates a solid career development foundation that will benefit them throughout their school experience. Hear from two school counselors on their strategies to expose K–5 students to careers and how to use career development as a vehicle to promote healthy and engaged student citizenship.
