Student Exploration Survey
​
The SCRI/Career Jam Student Exploration Survey establishes a local baseline for educators to measure and verify how far along students are in career preparedness and development as they begin high school course selections. It was commissioned by Career Jam, with support from the organization’s annual community impact partner, Siemens, and a collaborative CapNY workforce network. The survey findings reveal challenges and opportunities to students, parents, educators, local employers, and area trades professionals to better align students with career skills in demand.

The Siena College Research Institute is a nationally recognized leader in survey research, named the most accurate pollster in the United States in both 2022 and 2023. The Institute's work has been featured in major publications such as The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and all major cable news networks. Their areas of expertise include business, economics, politics, voter behavior, social issues, academic, and historical topics. They conduct both expert and public opinion surveys.
The Institute developed the Career Jam™ Student Career Survey which measures students’ skills, interests and personality traits to provide them with a career assessment. The survey is administered to partner districts of Career Jam as a classroom activity and then the expert researchers at the Institute analyze the survey data and deliver a visually pleasing and easy to interpret report to the school district.
The report fulfills several key purposes. It assists schools in pinpointing areas that require enhancement in career readiness and gaining insights into the student experience. Stakeholders utilize it to strategize for workforce development and address regional employment demands. For students, the report offers guidance on potential career paths leading to success. Additionally, it educates families and
parents, fostering discussions that stimulate interest in diverse career opportunities.
