In today’s world, young people are able to choose from many varied career paths.  What decisions will you need to make to achieve your goals? The goal of establishing a Career Exploration is to engage you and other youth from area high schools in career choices and civic participation. During the Career Exploration sessions, you will explore different career options by meeting professionals in the fields of medicine, law, industry, public relations and media, among others, as well as have the opportunity to learn more about the legislative process.

You and other students will participate in field trips, discussions, and presentations by professionals in several different career areas. You will learn about higher education decisions, the importance of internships, civic participation, and other choices that can help you achieve your goals. The whole experience is culminated in the spring of 2011, when selected participants are invited to Baton Rouge for a day at the Legislature, meeting  with your elected officials and touring the Louisiana Senate and House of Representatives.
