Career Readiness

Discovering a career direction becomes a students’ new focus and challenge. Your student’s successful transition into a career and ultimate independence can be greatly enhanced with your support of their career exploration and decision-making process.

Students may explore their career thoughts through various applied or experiential learning, i.e. through class projects, internships, or service learning. Keep in mind that your student may not yet have all the specific occupational information necessary to make a career choice, therefore these applied experiences will help them develop valuable skills and insight into themselves and possible careers.
