The Michigan Career Development Model (MI CDM) is designed to provide all K-12 students in the Michigan educational system with the necessary knowledge and skills for success in a career of their choice and lifelong learning.

  • Career Awareness: Grades K-3
  • Career Awareness: Grades 4-6
  • Career Exploration: Grades 7-8
  • Career Preparation: Grades 9-10
