Middle School Workshop

Middle school students, and their parents and or guardians are invited to attend a workshop geared towards career exploration and planning, starting out with what you like to do (interests), what your good at (skills) and what is important to you in the workplace (work values).  Parent interaction includes completing a brief survey.

Giving students the opportunity to become familiar with the idea of career choices is a great way to help them achieve better grades by setting long term goals, and succeeding in the future. This workshop will promote discussion and questions on college information and other related interests.
