The Career Center is a place to consider career interests, learn about local career exploration programs, brush up on the skills of finding and keeping a job, and more. You might come to the Career Center to set up a shadowing experience or look for a new summer job. The Career Center also oversees portions of the Career Advisory program (every other day 5, during 5th period) and coordinates all mock interviews.
The Career Center is staffed by Mrs. Lisa Dennis, Career Counselor. The Career Center is located in the hallway off the Auditorium lobby or can be accessed through the Counseling Office. To make an appointment with Mrs. Dennis, email her directly or use this Appointment Request Form.
2020 ANNOUNCEMENT: This year YCAL will be offering Career Exploration Programs Virtually, at least for the Fall Semester. All sessions will begin at 10:00 AM. Students who cannot attend live can register to receive the link and view the program after it has occurred. The direct link to the registration page is https://ycal.us/students/mentoring-program/. To register, you would just need to click on the hosts icon to be taken to the registration page for each program.
There are 10 Fall Programs.
-Information Technology, 2 parts
-Agriculture
-Nursing
-Accounting
-Engineering
-Respiratory Care
-CDL (Commercial Driving)
-Law
-Veterinary
-Criminal Justice & Forensics
These programs allow for up to 100 active participants. Once this limit is reached others should be able to register to view but will not be able to be an active viewer (meaning they cannot submit questions via the chat.) If we get to that point, YCAL will provide students with an email address so they can submit questions.
The Penn State program links will take students to a standard YCAL Google Form that will collect the same information. This is different because Penn State is using their own Zoom account/platform instead of the YCAL one.
Please contact Mrs. Dennis in the Career Center with any questions.
