Time for Kids, an educational publication launched by Time magazine in 1995, is offering a free digital job platform for 8-to-14 year-olds: Your Hot Job.
“Our
mission is to show children their options for the future and to encourage them to pursue jobs that reflect both their interests and their skills,” states Time for Kids editor in
chief Andrea Delbanco. “We are excited to show kids that there are many different paths to success and options for their future careers.”
The Your Hot Job
platform invites young people to explore the path toward meaningful work, with a focus on how kids can achieve their dream careers.
Also featured are resources for educators, including
standards-aligned lesson plans and worksheets, designed to engage students in productive discussions about careers. And the platform provides a guide for families.

“We often see the success of someone but rarely do we get to see the journey to get there,” says Micah Johnson. “I love that Your
