Introducing an engaging, comprehensive Career Exploration Textbook in our ebookstore, available for immediate download.
Here’s what’s causing all the excitement:
Career Exploration might just be the most important element of your teen’s high school experience.
Instead of graduating from high school with a shrug of the shoulders and a sigh of, “Well, I guess I need to figure out what I want to do with my life now…” your teen should be intentionally exploring areas of interest, strength and talent. He or she should be seeking God, seeking wise counsel from trusted people, and trying out different types of job fields.
Homeschooling high schoolers are busy! Why should they waste time on non-core courses?
We will tell you why Career Exploration is NOT a waste of your homeschool high schoolers’ time:
You don’t want to send your homeschool graduates off to college without some idea of what they should major in or what careers would be best fit! You definitely don’t want to send a non-college-bound homeschool graduate off into the working world without some direction on what to do or where to look!
High school is the perfect time to go exploring! You need a comprehensive high school career exploration curriculum.

Is there anything in your curriculum that could help my son, who has a hypersensitivity to electromagnetic fields, find a career after high school or college?
April,
That is a good question. The Career Exploration Bundle can help him get to know himself and his career aptitudes and callings. One activity he will benefit from is the MyNextMove.org career interest test and follow up exploration at Career One Stop. He should be able to factor in his needs as he works on MyNextMove.
Hi! I am wondering if I could get a course description for this? Thanks so much for any help you could offer!
Hi Beki,
There is a course description that is part of the syllabus in this post: https://www.7sistershomeschool.com/suggested-syllabus-for-career-exploration/
How many high school credits should this count? 0.5? 1.0? How many hours typically does this take to complete, and at what rate of speed and order should these be taken in? Thank you so very much for any additional information you can give!
Hi Kim,
That’s a good question. Very often students will log their hours when they do Career Exploration. Those who go more in-depth will earn a credit. Those who are in the head-space to breeze through it can do it in .25 credit. Here’s a post that discusses logging hours. https://www.7sistershomeschool.com/how-to-prove-your-credits-mean-something-on-the-homeschool-transcript/
Let me know if you have other questions.
Hello!
Is this bundle still for sale? I couldn’t find it in your shop…
Here’s the link: https://www.7sistershomeschool.com/products-page/career-exploration-for-high-school/career-exploration-curriculum-bundle-duplicate-2/
This link is not working. Is it no longer available?
Hi Tara,
Thanks for the heads up. Somehow, I missed updating this post. The Career Exploration Bundle has now been united into a single textbook: Career Exploration Textbook. Here’s the link: https://www.7sistershomeschool.com/product/career-exploration-textbook/
When I pull the high school career exploration in my shopping cart it is for $13.45 and not the $9.95 posted on your website… Is there a coupon code?
Hi Koleen,
When we originally introduced the Career Exploration Bundle it was priced at $9.85. We often have introductory pricing on new curriculum products. I’m sorry if this was confusing. The regular price is $13.45, a 10% savings on the price of each item purchased separately. There is not currently (Nov. 2015) a coupon associated with this bundle, but if you sign up for our newsletter (the link to subscribe is on our homepage if you scroll down) you will get coupon codes from time to time in your inbox that can be applied to curriculum in our store. Please contact us at [email protected] if you need further help signing up. Thanks for stopping by!
