What types of careers are featured on the cards?
After a few years in a hospitality CTE pathway, many students end up deciding they don’t want to be a chef, so then what?  Many of them end up going a completely different direction but they don’t have to.  We can take any other interest they have and merge it with food to help them encounter a way to take all the knowledge and training they have with food and use it to continue their education or enter the workforce.  Some of the fun jobs that are featured on the cards include:  

• Bubble Gum Manufacturer

• 3D Food Printing Engineer

• Food Fraud Investigator 

• Brand Collaboration Campaign Manager

• Food Pharmacist

• Zoo Nutritionist 

• Food Themed Furniture Designer

• Dining Etiquette Instructor

• Snack Subscription Box Curator

• Wild Game Butcher

• Paranormal Grocery Store Interactive Art Designer

• And more….

How can I use these cards?

• Print and hang in the classroom, on desks, in the kitchen cabinets, in the halls, at a career fair, at middle school orientations, at a CTE conference, etc.

• Print and pass out to students and ask them to watch and research one and then trade with several other students and at the end of class, rank the cards in order of which careers they liked the best and the least.

• Each famous person who loves food has their interests shipped with 4 other characters.  Have students break into groups and compare the four different cards and discuss what they like and dislike about each and give a presentation to the class about each shipped set of interests.

• You can show the Google Slides and let the students pick one of the four videos for each famous chef and as a class discuss what they like and don’t like about the career.

• You can show four Google Slides a day or week and have the students compare and contrast each of the careers the celebrity chef is paired with.

• You can leave a running Google Slides on in the classroom while the students cook to subliminally help them learn about careers they may not know exist.

• You can upload cards to screensavers on classroom and library computers. 

• You can email or text students cards daily or weekly.

• You can have students use the cards as an example and create their own cards to explore interests they have and discover new ships. 

• and much more.

What is shipping?
During the 90s this term emerged when people wanted Maulder and Scully from X-Files to date and they started being known as Sculder. Since then name combining has become very popular, most recently in the media you may recall Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift being called “Swelce”.  Teens love to “ship” all their favorite characters, especially in anime and fan fiction.

Why are you shipping fictional and real media personalities to teach career education?
Career Vision took the concept of “shipping” and instead of applying it to couples dating, we shipped characters' interests to show a new character that could be created with a mashup of those two interest areas and we take it a step further to show a video of what that character would star in showing them at work.  WE ARE NOT SHIPPING CHARACTERS TO DATE, I REPEAT WE ARE NOT SHIPPING ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS.  The cards clearly state, what if we shipped character 1’s love of _______ with character 2’s love of ______.  We are shipping interest areas to create a new character that loves both things so we can learn about new careers in a fun way.

What age are these cards for?
These cards can be used with middle school, high school, college age, and adult students to help them discover what they don’t know exists when it comes to their interests and their love of food.

What do the QR Codes link to?
We have curated videos, mainly from Youtube, from news outlets, media networks, organizations, and trusted sites that showcase a snippet of a career.  We did our best to steer away from content creators and focus on more formalized media sources that were current and free of inappropriate content. If you find a link that you feel should not be included, please notify us at careervisionbyjamie@gmail.com so we can evaluate it.  The majority of the videos are less than 5 minutes so you can show them during class, but for longer videos you can choose to show only a portion of the video.

What if my students can’t use their phones to access QR codes?
We have created a list of hyperlinks for each shipped character alphabetically that you can access in the Google Drive Resources.

What if we encounter a broken URL?

Please notify us at careervisionbyjamie@gmail.com so we can update the card and the hyperlink.  We will review QR codes yearly but as of February, 2025, all QR codes are active.

Do you have other themes?

“Food” was our first shipped set of cards released in February 2025 and we hope to create cards for each CTE pathway, email us at careervisionbyjamie@gmail.com to let us know what CTE pathway you want to see next. 

Can I share the Google Drive with a Colleague?

We ask you don’t. This single resource took over a month and 200 hours to make. If you like our resources, please encourage colleagues to buy their own copy so we can continue making more resources.
