 The Career Wheel
To help you decide on your
future career and your
prospective Senior High School
track, here is the Career Wheel
which showcases the different
career pathways and the related
SHS tracks and strands. There
are different ways of using the Career
Wheel. One way is to look for
your prospective career options
and corresponding SHS tracks
and strands. For example, if you
are interested in becoming an
engineer, one of your options is
to take the SHS Academic Track,
particularly the STEM strand.

Another way to use

the wheel is to look at the track
or strand you are most inclined
to and see what career options
are available for you after SHS or
college. For example, if you are
inclined to take up the Arts and
Design track, you will see that
you may work as a draftsman or
illustrator after SHS, or put up a
drafting business shop. Some of
the career options available for
you upon completion of college
include being an architect or an
interior designer.
