  • Start with taking a Career Interest Profiler - Get a list of careers you would do well in based on your career interests.
      • This is a great way to start exploring careers and choosing your major of study.
      • Your counselor and Career Center Technician can view your career interest results to help you explore all career options

 

  • Once you have completed the Career Interest Profiler, try taking the SKILLS Profiler. This will help you to see what careers you have the skills to do in addition to the careers in which you have an interest.

 

Every AGHS student should have their own login for CaliforniaColleges.edu. See Mrs. Oksner in the Career Center [208] or email trisha.oksner@lmusd.org if you need assistance.
