High school graduation is just around the corner!  Most students don’t realize there are five options to consider after high school.  These options are called “gateways” and are listed below:
1. Post-Secondary Education
4-year Colleges and Universities
2-year Colleges and Community Colleges
Technical and Professional schools and colleges
2. Military
Army
Navy
Air Force
Marine Corps
Coast Guard
3. Workforce
Full-time permanent jobs
Combination of two or more part-time jobs
Contract services on short-term basis
4. Apprenticeships and Internships
Carefully monitored work experiences with intentional learning goals
5. Self-Employment and Entrepreneurship
Start a business
Buy a business
Take on a franchise
Consult or freelance

Over the next few weeks I will have employment application procedures.  The gateway model is taken from The Real Game Facilitator’s Guide.  The Real Game™ can be found at http://realgame.com .
