CareerView: Exploring the World of Work, 1st edition

CareerView is designed to help high-intermediate and advanced English language learners explore their work interests and job opportunities across many employment sectors while they develop career and academic readiness skills to achieve their short-term and long-term goals. Together with its separately published companion Career & Academic Readiness Workbook, the text helps prepare students for a successful transition to continuing education, vocational training, and employment.

The course can serve as the capstone level of a traditional basal English series, as a stand-alone or supplemental text for advanced, transition, and bridge classes, and as an introductory career exploration resource for students entering continuing education, occupational training settings, and high school career and technical education programs. School employment counselors, career navigators, and other guidance professionals can also use the text with student advisees to help them explore career pathways.
