The View Careers project is an exploration of careers for middle-level students, starting on Instagram in August of 2025. There will be a weekly reel discussing a career with someone working directly in the field. The discussion will center on the type of work done, the skills required, drawbacks to the field, and why someone might choose this career path. The goal is to expose students to new fields that they might not be familiar with. Most middle school students are unfamiliar with various career fields. When asked about their future career, they will either respond with “I don’t know!” or state one of the obvious careers, such as doctor, lawyer, police officer, firefighter, actor, athlete, influencer, or entrepreneur. Students may be familiar with their parents’ careers, but often have limited knowledge about others and what it takes to succeed in their fields.
View Careers will explore various job options and discuss the essential skills required for these roles. Providing students with insights into careers as they make decisions about their educational path. We hope teachers will share this as a resource to help students explore careers. If you’re interested in sharing your job experience with View Careers, please complete this interest form.
