Explore, Prep, Launch
Choosing a career is a journey that begins in pre-K. Students start this journey with career awareness then move towards career exploration and preparation. While in high school students are challenged to decide what they wish to do "after high school." While there are many options after graduation, such as attend college or trade school, join the military, or enter the workforce directly, students depend on their families, teachers and counselors to help guide them in this decision making.

- Success in the New Economy VideoGeneral Resources - Written and Narrated by: Kevin Fleming ( http://www.teloses.com ) Citrus College supported the production of “Success in the New Economy” to help a broader audience begin to understand preparation today for tomorrow’s labor market realities. The end result is a compelling case for students to explore career choices early, make informed decisions when declaring their college education goal, and to consider technical skill acquisition, real-world application and academics (career technical programs) in tandem with a classic education. This balanced approach to life and learning results in a well-educated and employed workforce.
