Career Awareness and Exploration

Elementary and Middle School Students

Welcome to OHP’s Career Awareness and Exploration resources center, your gateway to the world of career exploration for elementary and middle school students. Young children start learning about careers early as they answer what they want to be when they grow up (teacher, fireman, nurse, garbage man, professional athlete, etc.).

Our mission is simple: to ignite curiosity, uncover potential, and guide young students towards an exciting future. We offer a variety of engaging programs, including in-person lessons, career kits, summer camps, virtual tours, videos, resources, and more all designed to help students and families explore the amazing possibilities that lie ahead.

Whether you're a student, parent, or educator, let us be your trusted partner as we embark on an exciting journey to explore the great big world of careers!
