Career Planning Overview
Successful career planning involves incorporating each student's unique qualities, abilities and goals.
A college or career "fit" is one that embraces all aspects of an individual's educational strengths and personality.
Our office helps students explore post-secondary opportunities by providing meetings with colleges, as well as career and technical institutions. Additional material can be obtained through internet research, reference books and meetings with guidance counselors.
The following list will help you navigate through the post-secondary college and career planning process. Additional print resources are available in the Guidance office.
