About the Career Center |
Our Career
Center is located in the library complex in Room L5. From
7:00 a.m. until 3:30 p.m., students may explore college,
scholarship, career, and employment opportunities. In
addition to college reference books, catalogues and
videotapes, 20 computers have access to the internet, as
well as our career development software, Choices. This
software promotes an interactive process of exploring
possible occupations and schools.
Career planning may begin by taking interest and aptitude
tests that connect with related occupations, majors and
schools. Students may listen to guest speakers who visit
during lunch to talk with interested students about specific
careers. Representatives from colleges across the country
visit our Career Center for lunchtime and after school
presentations. Students in all grade levels will spend two
to four periods each year in the Career Center focusing on
occupational choices, high school and college requirements,
and college options and application procedures.
Applications, registration booklets, and forms are available
for SAT & ACT tests, financial aid, NCAA and TOEFL.
Information on available scholarships, SAT prep courses and
specialized summer sessions are continually updated.
Students interested in part-time employment will find job
opportunities on the Job Placement Board. Community
volunteer programs are also posted. Information and
registration for classes offered through the Mission Valley
Regional Occupation Program is available in the Career
Center. In addition to our Career Center Specialist, Ms. Aldinger, our
five counselors are often available in the Career Center to
assist students. |
