Career Exploration

During your high school experience, your school counselor and school faculty assist with the career exploration journey through various delivery methods. Students are encouraged to start career exploration well before their senior year.

On this page, you will find helpful links for exploring careers and the training they require. In today’s world, most careers require some kind of post-secondary education. Your school counselor strongly recommends that you learn about all your options after graduating from Liberty High School. Options include, but are not limited to two/four year colleges, technical schools, apprenticeships, and/or military.

Apprenticeships: Another Option After Graduation

Many students and parents are not aware of the post-secondary option of apprenticeships. An apprenticeship is a system of paid training or profession with on-the-job training. Apprenticeships also enable individuals to gain a license to practice in a regulated profession. Some apprenticeships even pay for college coursework.
