PK-12 Resources

The Alaska Commission on Postsecondary Education’s college and career training exploration and preparation resources help Pre-K through twelfth grade students explore and connect their interests to career pathways, and understand and take time sensitive action steps at each grade level to prepare for college and career training after high school.

By incorporating career exploration alongside traditional subjects, students build a strong foundation to better understand the importance of academics, extracurricular activities, and healthy study habits as it relates to future career goals. Early career exploration teaches students to work hard in elementary, middle and high school, giving them the ability to make educated decisions about high school class schedules, setting the course for their postsecondary education and career pathways, and readying them to achieve scholarships that offset the costs of postsecondary education. Understanding important time sensitive steps in high school helps students prepare for more postsecondary and financial aid options.
