Exploring (Omaha, NE) is a career education program for young men and women ages 14 through 20. Exploring programs and professionals give their time and expertise in order to provide real-world career experiences for young adults. The Exploring program is not about lectures and slide shows – it’s about gaining practical, hands-on experience in a career field – resulting in a program full of activi
ties that helps youth pursue their special interests, build character, and develop life and job skills. The overall goal of Exploring is to help young adults make a more informed decision about future careers and determine if a particular career is the right one for them. Typically, a young adult in Exploring will either (1) get involved, learn about a career, and decide to pursue it or (2) learn enough about the career to determine it’s not the right fit for them. We believe it is better for a young adult to learn more about a career earlier in life, rather than spending money and time on further education before discovering it may not be the right fit for them after all.
