Career-Related Learning Experiences are structured educational experiences that connect learning to the world beyond the classroom. When students participate in these activities, they are better able to imagine their future career pathways and plan for life after high school.
The Career-Related Learning Experiences are planned and documented in the student’s Education Plan and Profile in relation to their career interests, aptitudes and post-high school goals. These experiences provide opportunities for students to apply academic, career-related, and technical knowledge and skills, and may also help students to clarify career goals.
Some examples of Career-Related Learning experiences include, but are not limited to, field-based investigations, field trips, guest speakers, job shadows, service learning, school-based enterprises, workplace mentoring, and workplace simulation.
Students participate in structured activities in the community, workplace, or school that connect to both academic content and careers. These can include, but aren’t limited to, the following:
A document or collection of evidence, included in the Education Plan and Profile, of each student’s Career-Related Learning Experiences

The Education Plan and Profile is a document that serves as a road map to guide student learning throughout their secondary education and into their lives after high school. It also serves as a living, growing collection of a student's achievements and interests. This document should stay with the student through any school transfers, and should be updated at least yearly.
The Education Plan and Profile has also been called a personalized education plan in some places in Oregon, or even just the education plan. Because the Oregon Administrative Rules refer to this part of the personalized learning requirements as the Education Plan and Profile, this document will use that language.
Through adult-guided conversations and activities, students explore their interests, talents, and plans for the future. This process is ongoing; as students revisit and revise their thinking over time, their education plan and profile.
Students meet with an adult at least yearly to choose classes and programs of study aligned to their interests, talents, and career ambitions. Students choose examples of their best work and notable achievements to be included in their Education Plan and Profile.
A document or collection of documents (paper or online) for each student that is updated at least once a year, beginning in grade 7. This document should include the following information about the student:
