Activity 1: Career Cluster Collages

1. Each mentor will get a different Career Cluster to review with their students. After you discuss your Cluster at your table, your students will be given time to flip through magazines to find words or pictures that relate to their given Career Cluster. Mentors will be in charge of gluing the cutouts on the poster while the students continue to search for images.

2. We will save time at the end of the visit for each group to share their collage with the entire class. Each student can point out an image included on the collage and provide a brief explanation for why it was included.

Activity 2: Career Charades

1. We’ll combine groups to form 3 teams. Students will then be given the opportunity to act out various occupations in pairs of two.

2. First team to correctly guess the occupation will get a point. An additional point will be given if they can correctly identify the career cluster the occupation belongs to.
