The learning process begins with the Career Choices series text. Students engage with the content––in print or online––and engage in instructor-led discussions and activities before they record initial responses to the exercises in their student workbook.
Using work completed in the workbook as a draft, students can reflect and process what they learn before transferring their thoughts to the corresponding section of My10yearPlan.com®. This valuable step gives students time to review, edit, and polish that draft, reinforcing the writing process as they create a researched and personally meaningful 10-year Plan and, unlike other online planning programs, providing learners with a decision-making and planning coach rather than a computerized crutch.

The Workbook and Portfolio provides a permanent record of each student’s career and life-planning goals. This low-cost consumable workbook replicates each exercise from the main Career Choices text.
Students RESPOND to proven prompts and activities that help them process the foundational information they read in the textbook.

My10yearPlan.com® expands the Career Choices experience by providing students with a mobile record of who they are, what they want, and how they plan to get it. One seat license is included with the purchase of each Workbook and Portfolio.
Whether it’s the hybrid or the online-only delivery, My10yearPlan.com® coaches students as they REFLECT on their draft responses and plans. As students refine their thinking and polish their responses using My10yearPlan.com®, they produce powerful artifacts of their learning:
An online 10-year Plan Summary Page that can be used for counseling and academic coaching throughout their high school and postsecondary tenure
The online format of My10yearPlan.com® allows students easy access so they can continue to update their goals and plans as they experience new things, learn more about who they are, and refine their vision of the future.
Once a student has completed the Career Choices series process and their online 10-year Plan, students can download the My10yearPlan.com® Mobile App as an easy way to REVISE, update, and share the key information from their 10-year Plan Summary Page with teachers, advisors, parents, and mentors.
Available for iOS and Android devices, the app allows students to access their existing My10yearPlan.com® account on the fly in advising sessions, when selecting courses, or as they finalize education and training plans.
With their plan in their pocket as a constant reminder, students have a tool that allows them to continue the process they learned in their Career Choices course as they move from high school into postsecondary education or training and on to the workforce.
