Career Planning
The Career Development Process involves the completion of a variety of activities geared to help students determine or confirm their desired life direction. We believe this is the initial action that must be taken in order to select an appropriate career or college major.
The greatest challenge and the greatest need for career development programs occur at the high school level. The need is that graduation plans dictate certain educational selections that require guided reflection and decision-making. Each high school has a Career Development Coordinator to help students with the career development process.
