Correlate digital application skills with the appropriate career pathways.

Correlation should include

• gathering information describing the career clusters
• determining the digital application skills required
• exploring opportunities for advancement
• identifying employment trends
• identifying potential employment barriers (e.g., for nontraditional groups) and ways to overcome those barriers
• using job databases
• matching an individual's abilities, aptitudes, interests, and job expectations with potential careers.

Many websites offer career exploration resources, including the Virginia Department of Education's Career Planning Guide.
