Part 1: Foundations: Who am I?, Building Resiliency
Before students explore industries or careers, they begin with self-awareness. In Foundations, learners uncover their strengths, interests, and values through personality and career assessments based on Holland’s framework. They learn how understanding themselves leads to better career satisfaction and decision-making. The course also builds resilience—teaching students how to adapt, recover from setbacks, and stay motivated in a fast-changing world. Through inspiring stories and reflection activities, students gain the mindset and confidence to navigate future challenges with grit and purpose.

Part 2: Career Exploration: Deep Diving into the 16 Industry Sectors
Students take a guided journey through the 16 Industry sectors, such as Health Science, Information Technology, Arts and Media, STEM and more. Each sector introduces real-world roles, required skills, and future trends — helping students connect their personal strengths to emerging opportunities. Interactive videos, career spotlights, and hands-on activities make global industries tangible, showing students that career paths are dynamic and diverse, not one-size-fits-all.
FutureReady Activity Book
The FutureReady Activity Book is a hands-on companion to Course 1: Foundations and Course 2: Career Exploration. Designed to work alongside the FutureReady digital platform, it helps students turn lessons into action through guided reflections, interactive activities, and career exploration exercises.
​
As students explore their interests, strengths, and the 16 CTE industry sectors, the activity book supports deeper understanding, confidence-building, and self-awareness—without pressure to choose a single career path. It’s an engaging, student-friendly tool that helps learners actively process what they’re discovering and build skills they’ll use to navigate their futures with confidence.
Part 3: Workforce Readiness: Learning the Skills to Be Workforce Ready
This course equips students with the core employability and digital skills essential for success in any field. Students practice communication, teamwork, problem-solving, time management, and adaptability — the human-centered skills employers worldwide value most. They also learn how to build a professional online presence, prepare for interviews, and understand what it means to be work-ready in an era shaped by AI and automation. By the end, students graduate with a clear sense of self, direction, and the practical skills to transition confidently into the global workforce.
