Our editorial content focuses on career exploration, college planning and life skills. Through interviews and profiles of people in a wide variety of professions, the magazine gives students the ability to make educated decisions about their futures. Although much of the editorial is planned in advance for the year, we welcome ideas from professional and student writers alike. However, all will be topics that appeal to the interests of our entire readership population. Each issue includes three to five career profiles of businessmen and women in different professions.
Variety is the key here.
In every issue, there are two to three articles dealing with college planning. Though most articles address college-related issues, some time will be given to discussing other options such as the armed forces, the Peace Corps and apprenticeship programs. Life Skills - This section helps students to get a head start on the skills that make adults successful. Articles educate students about public speaking, interviewing tips, writing a resume and other valuable skills which will enable them to hit the ground running. The Next Step Magazine has a positive impact on the lives and careers of high school students nationwide, and we invite you to join us in our mission.
