Career Planning
The best kept "secret" in the district allows hundreds of students to earn workforce-ready credentials and college credits at the same time. Turn your interest into a career- or maybe just add a credential or skills to your resume!
Many of these programs include work-based learning and internship opportunities too- some paid.
For some CCS graduates, getting a job or even starting a career after high school is the right path for them. Maybe you'll choose to go back to college or earn a credential later. Maybe you will carve out your own career by persisting, connecting and learning as you go.
The choice is yours.
Your CCS school counselor is here to help you be successful no matter what you decide to do after high school.
