Infusing RIASEC in Career Pathway Discussions and Reflection
The Montgomery County Career Advising Program (MoCo CAP) Career Coaches use John Holland’s refined RIASEC themes (Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional) to help students self-identify personal interests and preferences, along with careers that require compatible styles of work. These themes provide a vocabulary for how someone sees themselves now and are growing their skills, viable post-secondary and career options. Using RIASEC, Career Coaches and students have a common language for discussions and dialogue about ever-shifting job opportunities and career decisions. Teachers can make connections between content areas and RIASEC themes when appropriate to make natural connections to career options related to classroom experiences. Career Advising is located in Room 106 or you can reach out directly to Dr. Chun-Lin during Lunch.
