Career Search Website For Middle & High School Students

State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson has unveiled a California Career Center Web portal to help middle school and high school students explore careers.

“The California Career Center Web portal gives students, parents, and teachers a one-stop shop to help demystify the process of moving from the classroom to careers,” Torlakson said. 

The portal is part of a Career Readiness Campaign, provides the state’s first central, comprehensive Web site of career and college resources for students.

Students can use the free interactive website to build a personalized account that allows them to save critical information.

Research shows that high school students who participate in career exploration programs are more likely to take college entrance and Advanced Placement examinations, graduate from high school, and go to college.

The California Career Center Web portal is a collaboration between the California Department of Education, San Joaquin County Office of Education, and the California Career Resource Network program established under California Education Code Section 53086.
