Career Information
Byron Area High School is a career
pathway high school. We use the six Michigan Career Pathways to help
students take high school classes which will help prepare them for their
post-secondary lives. We have scheduling plans to help students whether
they are planning on working right out of school, entering the military,
or going to college or vocational school. More information about
the six career pathways can be found in the scheduling
packet
or on the
Michigan
government website.
The six Michigan Career Pathways are:
-
Fine Arts and Communication
-
Human Services
-
Health Sciences
-
Engineering, Manufacturing and Industrial
Technology
-
Business, Management, and Marketing
-
Natural Resources
We encourage students to explore their career
interests in a variety of ways--through job shadowing, on-line exploration,
career placement tests, and library research. Byron High School students
may access
Career Cruising
on-line. Career Cruising also has a place for students to work on
their Educational Development Plan and their resume. The username
and password can be obtained from the counseling office, the library, or
the computer labs.
