Preparing for College and Careers
This class is designed to help high school students (9-12) help narrow down their choices for their future careers.

Instead students investigate their likes and values to help choose careers to do more research into. Students in this class also learn other valuable skills that they will take with them into adulthood to help them become better citizens such as employability skills, financial management, communication skills, resume building, interviewing skills and many more.
