Attention:

Change is coming to career planning in Ohio

The Career Connections framework is being refreshed with updated tools, clearer guidance, and new ways to support students as they build a plan for life after graduation

Support, tools, and information on this change are coming soon.

Today, students need to see a link between what they are learning and future work. Career Connections offer practical ways for teachers and school counselors, families and community members to show students, as early as in kindergarten, the types of careers possible for them. 

Reports such as the college and career readiness data dashboards display this information. View college and career readiness data here.

Learn more about school to career connections through the links below, and sign up to receive Career Connections email updates and information.
