Career Development and Entrepreneurship introduces students to career opportunities and pathways within Family and Consumer Sciences (FCS) and human services–related fields. Students will explore how businesses in these industries are developed, marketed, managed, and sustained.
Instruction focuses on the development, marketing, and management functions associated with owning and operating an FCS or human services–related business. Emphasis is placed on career development and preparation, balancing family life with entrepreneurial ventures, and applying real-world business concepts through hands-on activities and the use of technology.
Students will analyze industry trends, develop basic business plans, and gain practical skills applicable to careers in areas such as child care, education, hospitality, nutrition, fashion, interior design, and human services.
