Workshop Speaker

Beginning and Enhancing your College and Career Counseling

In this workshop, attendees will receive a very practical resource for college counselors or schools beginning a college and career program or alumni relations at their schools. We will go over testing at school or home using the CLT, SAT, or ACT. I’ll share the schedule for high school and the binders we start freshmen out with. We’ll discuss how to help students cast a vision with their parents that goes with our profile of a graduate. Bring your school’s resources to look at or give away. I’ll explain the scholarship seminar, Career Exploration, and other activities we do.
