College and Career Development

The Student Support Services team goal in college and career readiness is to support students become future ready by exploring the world of work as well as their own interests and skills as these relate to a variety of professions and career opportunities. We also support students acquire knowledge about diverse educational pathways so they can be successful in their transition from K-12 education to post-secondary life. 
 
The San Marcos Unified School District in collaboration with The San Marcos Promise has put together a website where students can access a variety of tools to explore careers and think about their future. You can access the website in the following link:
Future Center

Students are also encouraged to check the California Career Zone website, linked below, to explore careers, colleges, and more! This is a website we use often when working on career exploration school counseling classroom lessons. We particularly focus on the RIASEC Codes and the Career Interest Inventory, exploring Career Pathways through the different Industry Sectors, and completing the Making Money Choices survey to reflect about the relationship between income and lifestyle.
