November is Career Development MonthCareer Development Month intends to create unique opportunities for people of all ages to consider their future and career possibilities. All across the country, National Career Development (NCD) Month in November signals a time for students and employees to focus on their future career choices. No matter their age, students in every classroom have an opportunity to explore careers. With every experience, they come closer to discovering a career choice that aligns with their values, skills, and interests. November is also National Scholarship Month, with a focus on raising awareness of scholarship opportunities for current and future college students. This is an excellent time for our high school seniors to begin the scholarship application process. We can also begin exploring scholarship opportunities with our younger students and helping them to make a plan to be competitive applicants in the future.In this College & Career Month resource flyer you will find:College and Career Development OpportunitiesPostsecondary Transition Resources Information on ScholarshipsOpportunities for Professional Growth
