student services ...career to college

The School to Career Program offers students the opportunity to apply their academic, technical, and interpersonal skills to a work-based learning experience. Business mentors, teacher-coordinators, and students collaborate to fuse academics, industry standards, and individual student goals. Work experiences, internships, and apprenticeships provide students with a means to develop the skills and knowledge necessary to make appropriate and informed decisions in the career development process and to prepare for the future.
