What does the College 2 Career Program do?


Career Exploration

Students can research and explore career possibilities and receive structured guidance before deciding what training they would like to pursue.  Job shadowing is available to assist in narrowing the student’s interests.

Life Skills

Often, life skills are a predictor of success in the workplace.  The College 2 Career Program acknowledges this and provides training in areas like budgeting, nutrition, personal appearance, and problem-solving to help ensure workplace stability.
