Getting Started
Set of 6 titles
The Getting Started series is the perfect resource for young people who are interested in learning more about education and careers in a particular field, but don't know how. It provides a wide range of exploration activities for middle school and high school students, including competitions, school clubs, information interviews, job shadowing experiences, summer camps, tours, volunteer opportunities, and books, websites, podcasts, and videos. Each title in the Getting Started series presents information on more than 20 careers in a particular field (such as engineering, nursing, and forensic science), the educational requirements to enter these fields (e.g., college, apprenticeships, military training), and financial aid (e.g., grants, loans, scholarships). Interviews with workers and educators in these fields are provided to help readers better understand what it takes to be successful on the job.
