Explore careers in the real world
Every career connects to real activities near you — classes, clubs and programs where a teen can try the kind of work firsthand.
Every career page here is free to explore
Read about the work, browse missions and mini-projects, and see what a career actually involves — no account required. Career access is included with paid Family Premium ($9.99/month or $79.99/year, per family), so once you're ready your teen can actually try a mission or start a mini project.
Career Explorer is for exploration, not prediction
Trying a mission can help a teen notice what parts of the work feel interesting, difficult or worth exploring further. It does not determine career suitability, and there are no scores, rankings or “best match” results.
