CAR964 — Career Academies
Three Career Academies will be offered at Allen and Dieruff High Schools. These Career Academies will meet Monday through Thursday from 3:00-5:30 p.m. Each Academy week will focus on one high priority occupation (HPO) in the Lehigh Valley [manufacturing, healthcare, and business & professional services]. Students will learn more about these HPOs through presentations by the Academy instructor, LCCC Admissions and Career Development staff, and presentations by people working in the field. Students will also learn how to conduct research on their particular career interest (e.g. work environment, education requirements, skill requirements, job outlook, salary, etc.). The Academy will conclude with a field trip to a local business, mini student presentations, and student recognition ceremony.
