CareerForward is a self-contained online course that can help schools prepare high
school students for their places in the workforce of the future and for career opportunities
in a global economy. CareerFoward uses a variety of multimedia tools and can be
used with other career planning tools to help students:
- Assess their career interests.
- Explore career options.
- Create an education development plan.

Students can work with local educators to access the online course, which takes
about four to six weeks (or approximately 20 hours) to complete. The course is designed
to be facilitated by a local teacher and can be used independently or as part of
an existing face-to-face course in career planning, business, or global studies.
Throughout the course, students are asked frequently to reflect on what they’re
learning, to write their thoughts down as a continual refinement of their thinking,
and to discuss those thoughts with other students-either in person or online.
You can access the Career Forward Web site, online course, and Web-based program
if you are:
- A teacher, a staff member, or a student who lives in the United States of
America or its territories.
- An employee or student in a K-12 school.
- Parents and home-schooled students who reside within a school district in
the United States of America or its territories.
If you meet these criteria, you can start using CareerForward after signing an end user license
agreement (EULA). If you do not meet these criteria, access to the site is available
through separate licensing agreements. Contact careerforward@mivu.org for more information.
