Career Life Connections (CLC) 12 is intended to support and guide students in purposeful and ongoing career-life development. In this course students learn how to recognize and cultivate relevant opportunities and supportive relationships, and continually re-evaluate and revise their plans that they began in Career Life Education10. Emphasis in CLC 12 is put on students developing self-awareness and becoming life-long learners who understand that one’s interests may develop and change over time, but that being continually aware of one’s self-identity will shape current and future career and life choices.
CLC 12 / Capstone is MANDATORY for graduation.
