college & career day


College & Career days are activities in the Career Awareness stage of the work-based learning continuum, which provides authentic experiences to all students engaged in career related programs or attending a college or university upon completion of their high school requirements.

Designed to meet specific learning objectives, college & career days helps students connect what they are learning in school with higher learning institutions and the workplace. They listen to speakers or navigate the event independently, seeking information about the school or industry and the career options it provides. They also learn about the education required for entry.
