Marketing
SERVICE AREA: Business, Finance, Marketing and Management
In a world filled with information overload, there are great opportunities in careers that help organizations cut through the clutter and share their messages in distinctive ways. The federal Bureau of Labor Statistics projects careers in marketing will grow at an above-average pace. This sector has a wide range of opportunities across the spectrum of educational requirements.

Xello, the district’s career and college readiness platform, helps students in grades 7-12 (and possibly more in the future!) build the skills, knowledge and plans to be ready for the future.
Using an investigative, discovery-based learning process, students better understand themselves, their future career options, and the 21st century skills they’ll need to succeed.
(Xello replaces the Kuder Navigator tool previously used by the district.)
The Future Ready Iowa website directly connects students to tools for finding education, training and jobs beyond high school. It uses Labor Market Information to identify the number of jobs, the average median income and what training is required within a geographically determined distance.
