Career Education

Using education (generally k-12) as the vehicle for transmitting information about occupations and career development to students. Career education generally involves hands-on learning, but may be distinguished from vocational education which tended to exclusively focus on formal vocational preparation, while career education is usually approached in a much broader fashion.
