Overview

The Career & College Center has become a viable mechanism in secondary schools, colleges and organizations for serving the information needs of students in their transition from school-to-college and school-to-work. This two-part webinar will examine all aspects associated with the planning, design, implementation, evaluation and maintenance of a Career & College Center.

Quality information facilitates the career and educational development process and the Career & College Center can play a vital role in promoting student understanding of the worlds of work and education. This webinar will offer insights into the design and delivery of Career & College Center activities, services and resources that promote awareness, exploration and decision-making. It will also address the effective use of career and college resources.

Participants will walk step-by-step through a series of planning, design and implementation steps that, if followed, can lead to the creation of a quality Career & College Center. They will also learn how to evaluate the effectiveness of the Center and move forward with maintenance and growth activities.
