Got a question?

It’s completely normal to feel overwhelmed when thinking about your next steps. Start by reflecting on what you enjoy doing and the skills you already have. Britebound's digital tools like ~~Futurescape~~ can help you get a clearer picture of your interests and how they connect to potential careers. From there, your school counsellor can help you understand what education or training that different careers require. As you narrow things down, you might want to find a ~~mentor~~ or try out an internship to see what feels right.

You’re definitely not alone. ~~Many students today are exploring options~~ beyond a traditional four-year degree. There are plenty of strong pathways that can lead to fulfilling careers with family-sustaining wages. Community college, career-training and vocational programs, bootcamps, certificate programs, and programs that award industry certifications, occupational licenses, or stackable credentials are all viable choices. Whatever you decide, make sure to look closely at costs and proven outcomes. ~~Credential Engine’s~~ Credential Registry helps you explore thousands of credentials and understand their value. The ~~College Scorecard~~ from the U.S. Department of Education offers tools to compare colleges and programs.

You don’t need to have everything figured out right now. Middle school is a great time to explore your interests and get to know yourself better. What do you enjoy? What skills do you want to develop? As you learn more about what excites you, you can start exploring possible jobs and the education you might need. ~~This guide~~ can help you get started as you discover who you are, what’s out there, and how to make informed choices about your future.
