CBIA's Career Exploration Video Series

As part of the state’s school-to-career program, we’ve filmed nine videos that bring the career clusters concept to life. They’re called, “Is This You?” We took our cameras into Connecticut companies and followed young people that your kids can relate to, on the job.
     Each tape covers one of the career clusters in a fast-moving, real-world approach that your students will think is “cool.”
     For the first time, you can bring the world of work right into your schools to show how school work connects to life-work. The videos candidly explore the positives and realities of each job from the perspectives of the young people actually doing them.
     We cover some traditional jobs that everyone will recognize and some unusual careers too. And each tape includes positions requiring a high school education, some for college grads and those requiring an advanced degree. Communication skills and teamwork are also emphasized in every program. We even tell the salary ranges for each job and Web sites your students can go to for more information.

     The brand-new videos, flexible curriculum materials designed for both large- and small-group instruction, and additional online resources create a comprehensive package that may be used in a wide variety of instructional settings. We recommend that you preview the video and select those student activities in advance that best suit the needs of your students. All teacher directions are included here for your convenience.
