Career development is a process that involves students, parents, teachers, counselors, and the community. The goal is to help students make good decisions about themselves and their future. The process includes helping students develop and implement an individual career development plan. Coordinating the process is the responsibility of the Career Development Coordinator.
The Career Development Coordinator (CDC) also helps students participate in work-based learning experiences such as Job Shadowing, Career Fairs, Apprenticeships and Internships. To find out more about these opportunities, refer to the Class Links section or the Class Files section or come visit me in my office which is located in the Student Services building.
