Lesson Overview
Through these sessions we encourage Step Up teens to begin thinking about their futures and careers. Students will consider a variety of factors in various industries and determine how much income a person can expect to earn in specific fields. Teens will explain factors they should consider when selecting a career path, describe the relationship between income and career selections, and will provide an example of how employment projections might influence a person's career selection

Mentor Visit Introduction
Step Up Mentors introduce themselves, their current company/role or career journey, and some words of advice they'd give to themselves if they were a teen. We encourage you to create a brief "Mentor Moment“ and ask if there are any questions before the lesson.
Estimate Your Spending + Guess the Income Activities
Participants will go through a series of worksheets to estimate their future spending based on their preferences and values. Mentors and teens will then explore types of occupations, guess the average yearly wage and educational needs, and then review the actual wage and education requirements together.
Closing and Announcements
The School Fellow will close out with announcements.
