Career Readiness Seminar

A semester class aimed to provide students with opportunities to research current and future career trends; discuss job-related experiences and on-the-job health/safety issues and employer-employee relations; identify personal, work, and lifestyle values; and create a personal portfolio and professional resume aligned with your personal career aspirations.

Why should I take this class? Students should take this course to provide clarity to their course and program selection. By researching current career trends students become informed consumers of educational opportunities. Student who successfully complete this course are eligible to take the Career Experiences Course.
