New Features in Fall 2011

• Elementary students in grades 4-6 can now explore the world of work through WISCareers Elementary. WISCareers Elementary helps students to connect the activities they enjoy to skills that will help them to be successful in life. In WISCareers Elementary, students will find the Avatar tool, a colorful Career Cluster landscape (based on the 16 National Career Clusters), an Individual Learning Plan/ePortfolio, and interactive career exploration games.

• Our new Learning Styles Inventory is now on WISCareers! Your students will be able to discover their learning styles, and then save their results to their ILP/ePortfolios. Furthermore, they can see whether they learn best by reading, hearing, or doing, and then adapt their study habits to maximize their learning.

• The ILP/ePortfolio has a new look and students can now save their favorite career clusters. Don’t forget to have students add their own categories to the ILP/ePortfolio as well!

• Designed to increase student's confidence in education and career decision-making, don’t forget about the Education and Career Planning tool. This interactive module will leave students with a relevant and concrete list of goals and a detailed report to guide them through high school and beyond. Students will compare assessments to their chosen occupations, explore and plan for post-secondary options, reflect on decisions, and set relevant and timely goals. Students will love the individual and relevant information. Parents will love the planning assistance and extensive amount of information available to their children.

• You are now able to run a report of your students’ top career clusters. At the professional home page, just click on ‘Usage Reports,’ ‘PGI’ and run your report. You will be able to see top clusters as well as matching student info.

• As a not-for-profit organization, WISCareers continuously strives to provide great service at the lowest prices possible. As many of you have seen, we have worked diligently and have been able to lower our prices to fit your needs. We have also changed our pricing structure and are now charging on a per-building basis. Let us know how you’re doing, and don't forget, these prices always include free on-site and regional training. Check out our catalog for your organization’s price!

• CEW is now a global network! Join our LinkedIn group and follow us on Twitter!

• And lastly, we have great news! Peterson’s has added new practice tests to their packages at no extra cost! This means that our test prep subscription includes MORE at the same price!!
