Career Conversation Starters (Also available in Spanish)

The Career Conversations starters and questions provide a guide for families, educators, and community members - any caring adult - to engage with learners in their journey to Postsecondary and Workforce Readiness (PWR). They were created by the American School Counselors’ Association (ASCA) and the Colorado Department of Education (CDE) and are based on ecosystems theory, counseling theory and an extensive review of counseling and career counseling literature.
