Career Planning

The first step in the career exploration process is to gather information about yourself to help you choose an appropriate career. The more you know about your interests, values, abilities, and goals, the more likely you will be to select enjoyable, stimulating work in which you will excel. These web sites will assist you in the process of developing an understanding of yourself.  Please NOTE:  Beginning in 2009, all sophomore students will be taking a career survey on Naviance.  For more information about this survey please visit the Naviance website or contact your student's counselor.

Working Papers

New Jersey law requires all workers under the age of 18 to obtain working papers. Furthermore, minors must be at least 14 years of age to be employed in the state of New Jersey with the exception of employment in agriculture, newspaper delivery, and theatrical occupations. The child labor laws no longer apply when minors reach the age of 18. Both Ridge High School students and Basking Ridge residents not enrolled at RHS can obtain working papers by seeing Mrs. Grossmann x107 at the Guidance Secretarial Desk.
