COLLEGE and career Center

Mrs. Middleton works as our CDC here at North Meck.

The Career Development Coordinators (CDC) role is to support Career and Technical Education (CTE) and to coordinate career development services for students. The CDC works collaboratively with administrators, student services personnel, and teachers to ensure the delivery of career development services. CDCs facilitate linkages with parents, business/industry, post-secondary institutions, and community organizations to support students’ transition to post-secondary education and employment.

The CDC responsibilities incorporate the North Carolina Standard Course of Study, National Career Development Guidelines, and the National Model for School Counseling Programs and Future-Ready Students For the 21st Century.

Specifically the Career Development Coordinator and Career Facilitator:

• Coordinate activities to assist students in making realistic educational choices resulting in the selection of an appropriate Course of Study.

• Facilitate activities which enable students to move successfully through their selected Courses of Study from beginning courses to higher level courses.

• Provide students help as they move from middle to high school and from high school to post secondary education, military service and/or employment.

• Establish linkage between school and community that offers support for CTE and opportunities for students.

• Publicize CTE programs and accomplishments to provide heightened community awareness of educational and career opportunities.
