Below is a ready-to-use 9‑slide presentation outline you can copy into PowerPoint / Google Slides. Each slide includes suggested slide text (concise bullets for the slide itself), optional speaker notes you can read aloud, and suggestions for pictures/video and formatting to make it eye-catching. I chose 4 career pathways so each gets a clear slide while keeping the total length within 8–10 slides.
Slide 1 — Title
- Slide text:
- My Career Pathways Plan
- Name: [Your Name] Grade: [Your Grade] School: [Your School]
- Date: [MM/DD/YYYY]
- Speaker notes: Briefly introduce yourself and say what the presentation will cover: 3–5 pathways and details for each (skills, experience, credits, jobs/salaries).
- Visuals: Large photo or collage showing students at work (lab, computer, shop, business). Add a clean title font (e.g., 40–48 pt).
Slide 2 — Presentation Overview / What I’ll Cover
