Career Coaches

High School Career Coaches

Career Coaches are available in area high schools to assist students by working with them to develop individualized career and education plans to meet their specific goals. The high school career coaches also help students secure admission and financial aid for their chosen college or training program.

Should additional support be needed, the coaches assist the student to acquire support services through human services agencies and community based organizations. Career Coaches also educate students about programs and services available at One Stop Centers, adult education, and community colleges.
