HIGH SCHOOL CAREER SERVICES CENTER

Welcome High School students!

Whether you're a freshman, sophomore, junior or senior -- it's never too early -- or too late -- to plan for your future career!

The Career Services Center can help!

Chances are a lot of people are telling you what you should or shouldn't be when you grow up. While getting advice from peers and family can be helpful, it's not a substitute for real career planning -- the kind you can get at the Career Services Center. We don't tell you what to do with your life. Instead, we offer you ideas from which to choose based on your interests, skills, talents, personality, and job market trends. We want you to learn about jobs: what you do on the job, how much money you can make, and how you should be trained. Since 80% of all jobs in the near future will require some education beyond high school, we'll help you explore options for continuing education too. Together, we'll help you figure out what's right for you and your future.
