Where We Make Your Future A Priority

Career Development Centers Focused Around Preparing You For The Future

We service grade 9-12 with a goal of sequentially building the skills in our students to be ready for whatever post graduate path they choose. During 9th and 10th grade, students build experiences and skills that they will be able to compile on resumes and college applications. By 11th grades, students should be dreaming on a chosen career path and making efforts academically and extracurricularly to align their efforts. We seek to help tighten that alignment and help students to build a greater rate of success for their future path. By 12th grade, students are targeting accumulating work experiences and networking with businesses to establish their chosen direction, be it college or immediate workforce entry.
