Using an Old West theme, Career Trail helps kids and teens explore career options. From the interactive illustration of a Western town, students can journey along the Chilkoot Trail to meet characters with different occupations and take a career quiz in the School. The goal of career education is to help kids understand some of the many opportunities open to them. That's the thinking of Dragon Slayer 101, an interactive game that takes your kids on a quest to slay a dragon. Along the way, they'll meet people in various professions, from farmers to boat builders to innkeepers to carpenters.
Kids also can fill out a career discovery worksheet and find out more about vocational schools.
Those are all valid and honorable options, but Wow Careers aims to educate kids about a wide range of additional options. Careers are listed by category, and each job is described by someone who works at that occupation. FutureScan provides in-depth articles about a number of careers, including architecture, law, business administration and veterinary medicine. Plus, students can find out how to get work experience in their chosen career. That's the goal of KidsWay, which provides information on business, entrepreneurship, possible careers and investments for kids ages 8 to 18.
