WHS 11th grade to participate in ASVAB Career Exploration Program
The ASVAB Career Exploration Program is a comprehensive career exploration and planning program that includes a multiple aptitude test battery, an interest inventory, and various career planning tools designed to help students explore the world of work. The ASVAB Career Exploration Program will be offered to 11th grade students at Willcox High School on Sept. 23.
The program provides tools, including the test battery and interest inventory, developed by the Department of Defense to help high school and post-secondary students across the nation learn more about career exploration and planning. Results of the aptitude test and the interest inventory enable students to evaluate their skills, estimate performance in academic and vocational endeavors, and identify potentially satisfying careers. These results are integrated with work values to help students identify and prioritize possible career choices. Students are encouraged to consider their own work-related values and other important personal preferences as they explore the world of work and learn career exploration skills that will benefit them throughout their work lives.
Sixty-three percent of those who participated reported that the ASVAB Program helped them to connect their skills and interests with appropriate career choices.

Schools should be very clear about this to parents and students, and give them the right to make their own decisions about their contact information. "
