CAREER PLANNING
A high school diploma is no longer enough to ensure success for our students in the working world. There are a variety of programs available to prepare/train students for specific careers that pay a living wage.
We have created a PowerPoint presentation that lists all apprenticeship programs, community college occupational programs, and vocational and technical schools in northern California. We've also included programs available through California Conservation Corps and Job Corps.
