Career Planning & Exploration

Career and Technical Education

Pathways

At Kaukauna High School, future occupations and careers that share common skills, knowledge and interests have been "clustered" into six potential career pathways:

• Business, Management and Administration
• Agriculture, Food & Natural Resources
• Arts, Communications & Information Systems
• Engineering, Manufacturing & Technology
• Health Science Technology
• Human Services

Career Pathways are "roads" students can take in high school to help them prepare for those careers. 

Work and Community-Based Learning

The best way to learn about potential careers and to open doors to new and exciting job opportunities is to take advantage of career and service learning opportunities during high school. Now is the time to develop a network of local business professionals, to improve your skills, and to obtain hands-on, industry experience, all while making a positive impact on your community. Kaukauna High School offers a number of different Work and Career-Based Learning Opportunities, along with a number of Service and Leadership Opportunities that help students understand how their work can lead them to be active, successful contributors to their community.
