Let’s Review

In the previous module, you were guided towards relating your choice of career
to your interests, skills, abilities, and competencies. You also learned the importance
of taking into consideration your personal experiences and opinions of your parents
and guardians in making meaningful decisions.

Introduction:

The labour market trend is a dynamic and fast-pacing factor in your career
choices. As a K to 12 student who is gearing up for Senior High School and will soon
take on the different Curriculum Exits, it is important that you explore your career
pathway to which your decision may lead.

Remember also to realize the personal meaning of your choices. Individuals find
their own paths to career choice based on personal meaning that life events have for
them. To enable a deepened and intensive career guidance, it would be essential to
allow realization on the reason and significance of your career choices in your own life.

Career Interest Clusters

A career cluster is a group of jobs that require similar skills or share common
characteristics. Let this activity help you in confirming your career choices and deciding
what track and strand will you take in Senior High School.

statements that apply to you.

Processing Questions:

you?
2. What did you discover more about your career interests while completing the
activity?

Keep in Mind

Suggested Time Allotment: 15 minutes

Knowing your career pathway is very essential to make sure that you are on the
right track towards achieving your goals in life. As a Grade 10 learner, it is important to
be informed about the available career options for you so that you can prepare and plan
your actions.

Each career clusters presented in the previous activity represents inclinations and
interests that align with a particular Senior High School (SHS) track or strand. To help
you decide on your future career, here is the Career Wheel which showcases the different
career pathways.

8
 There are different ways of using the Career Wheel. One way is to look for your
prospective career options and corresponding SHS tracks and strands. For example, if
you are interested in becoming an Entrepreneur or put your own business in the future,
one of your options is to take the SHS Academic Track, particularly the Accountancy,
Business and Management (ABM) Strand. Another way to use the wheel is to look at the
track or strand you are most inclined to and see what career options are available for you
after SHS or college.

Once you were able to harvest your career choice through the interaction of
different factors and elements such as your skills, interests, values and attitude toward
your career, experiences, interpersonal relationships, and educational preparation; you
will be able to identify the meaningful characteristics of your chosen career in your life.

We find our own paths to career choice based on the personal meaning that we
attach to them. The deeper the meaning that we give to our choices, the more significant
our career choices are in our lives.

You Can Do It!
