Abstract

Providing early career exploration opportunities improve students’ academic performance and help them “connect the dots” between self-concept, education, and various career paths. Since there is a growing emphasis to expand elementary students’ early career awareness, the purpose of this quantitative survey study is to explore how elementary students’ self-perceptions change regarding main career development domains including (1) developing self-concept, (2) exploring college and career options, (3) making a connection with personality, education, and career paths. The quantitative findings also report how gender is related to elementary students’ career cluster choices. Elementary school leaders and counselors can use the results to improve young children’s career development by creating systemic and targeted career exploration activities.
