Career &
College Destinations Discovery Day
October 15, 2019
Helping students connect to local careers and jobs is our main goal. For this program, we encourage the participation of those students who have not identified a career choice and would benefit from a day of exploration. The career assessment tool we provide is an excellent tool to share with all students. Career counselors are welcome to recommend the students for this program.
