November is National Career Development Month!
It’s a time to explore different jobs, learn about your interests, and start thinking about your future!
At DMS, we’re celebrating all month long:
- Career of the Day: Tune in each morning for a new career spotlight on the announcements and learn fun facts about different jobs and the skills they use.
- Weekly Career Cluster Highlights: Each week, students will get an email featuring a new career cluster — groups of related jobs that share similar skills and interests.

This is a great time for students to dream big, explore possibilities, and imagine their future paths. 💫
Stay tuned, stay curious, and get ready to explore your future!
