What is A “Career Explorations Activity”?

A career exploration activity can be met by doing one of the following activities or by attending other events.  Activities are of two kinds, first are those located at or coordinated by the IHS Career Center.  The second type are those coordinated by other organizations or by the student themselves.  Whenever you see this symbol on displays or posters or on our website you know that this activity fulfills the requirement.  Once the activity is completed students write about it in the Journal area of their Bridges file.
