Career Development includes the following areas:

  • Vocational Training
  • Academic Training
  • Job Skills
  • Social Skills
  • Work-Based Learning

Depending on the career path chosen by the student, he/she will be enrolled in the necessary classes to help them achieve their goals. For those who did not complete high school, GED classes and testing are available to bring them up to the level necessary to begin training for their chosen career. Students can also obtain a high school diploma by participating in the on-line high school program. The education process can take up to two years to complete.

When students get close to completing their education, they begin the next phase, which is Career Transition.
