- Career exploration and development includes but is not limited to: interest and skill inventories, career exploration software with World-Wide-Web access, community-based learning experiences, and post-secondary educational exploration and assistance.
- The student's educational/career plan will be carried out as a team effort by members of The Student Services staff, student faculty advisors, parents, administrators, support staff, and community members.
