This is where it all happens. Authentic Session Facilitators represent industries aligned with the Career Clusters framework (Advance CTE). This means that PCD provides student CAP programs for nationally recognized industries. 

PCD's centralized mid-state location means we can bring schools and partners together in an efficient way that maximizes the time, talent, and resources of all.

PCD's Career Connections programming is driven by PCD's three pillars:

1. Authentic - industry experts provide key information, stories, and a realistic understanding of the industry, where students can ask questions from people who are actually doing the work.

2. Relevant - Student program recruitment is done through PCD"s school liaisons. They register students who either: self select, are nominated to participate, are interested in the industry - but may not be ready to make a career choice.

3. Quality - PCD's intentially small industry sessions allow genuine interactions with industry professionals. Student-centered inquiry is best achieved through face-to-face interactions.
