College & Career Awareness
The Michigan Career Development Model (MI CDM) is designed to provide all students (K-12) in the Michigan educational system with the necessary knowledge and skills for success in a career of their choice and lifelong learning.
During early grade levels students become familiar with careers through learning that connects classroom instruction to future work. Career Awareness strategies introduce students to various types of careers. At the elementary level it is important that student exposure includes a broad spectrum of Career Zones, including careers that are nontraditional for their gender.
The targets create learning opportunities that support academic rigor, knowledge and skill development, social emotional learning, and career awareness. The following Career Awareness section contains learning targets and suggested strategies that can be utilized to assist schools in developing a local or regional career development model.
