About this resource

This quiz covers career exploration and occupational awareness, targeting middle school students in grades 7-9. The questions assess students' knowledge of various professions, including educational requirements, job responsibilities, industry classifications, salary ranges, and career growth trends. Students need foundational understanding of different career pathways, from skilled trades requiring apprenticeships to professional careers demanding extensive education. The content requires students to demonstrate knowledge of specialized medical fields, understand workplace environments, recognize industry categories, and make connections between educational preparation and career outcomes. Students must also apply basic economic concepts related to employment statistics and salary comparisons while understanding the relationship between training requirements and career advancement opportunities. Created by Carley Brindle, a Fun teacher in US who teaches grade 7 and 9. This engaging career trivia quiz serves as an excellent tool for introducing students to the vast landscape of professional opportunities available to them. Teachers can use this resource as a warmup activity to spark interest in career exploration units, as homework to encourage students to research unfamiliar professions, or as formative assessment to gauge students' baseline knowledge before diving deeper into career and technical education topics. The quiz effectively supports classroom instruction by exposing students to diverse career fields, from healthcare and skilled trades to entertainment and finance, helping them understand that career success comes through various educational pathways. This aligns with Common Core standards for speaking and listening (CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.SL.7-9.1) as it promotes collaborative discussion about career interests and supports College, Career, and Civic Life (C3) Social Studies standards that emphasize civic ideals and practices in contemporary society.
