Junior Career Development Activities

What is the Career Development Credit?

 It is a required credit for graduation. These activities were tailored to help you get started with your work/adult life! Meaning: sooner or later you will have to do them, even after you graduate. So you might as well use us as a resource and guidance. The CD Credit consists of some activities on Xello and in-person activities. If you are not sure where you are at with your activities come see Mr. Valdivia or Mr. Abarca.

Below you will find the links and docs you need to complete it.
