Dear Class:

Learning Targets:
​Students will --​

• Know basic budget vocabulary

  Know their personality type and how personality types relate to career options.

  ​JOB — A unique work situation or position, paid or unpaid. Activities performed on a regular basis in exchange for payment.
  
  OCCUPATION — A group of related jobs that have similar duties, levels of responsibility, skills, knowledge, and physical demands. CIS uses about 600 occupational titles to describe the labor market.
  
  CLUSTER — A way to group occupations by some common feature. Oregon uses 23 clusters to group occupations into five broad categories called Career Learning Areas.
  ​Career Learning Areas can help you focus on skills and knowledge related to your career goals and education plans.
  
  CAREER — The combination of learning and work that a person pursues during his or her life.
