The D.C. Everest Career Center provides students and their families with resources and services to assist in the career development process.
The Career Center highlights the wide range of career opportunities and choices available to students through self-discovery, market research, action planning, and making community connections. The Career Specialist is available to help students with individual career planning, job shadowing, finding a college, and job-hunting strategies, all of which are necessary for a successful transition from high school.
The Career Center provides many resources such as labor market data, 2-year/4-year college information, specialty school literature, military options, ACT/SAT materials, local business references and promotion, scholarships, and financial aid information.
The Career Center includes a computer lab where students can research career trends and fields of interest through the Internet. The high school purchases an online career web resource called WISCareers to help guide students through the process of making career and education decisions. Students can access their WISCareers personal account from any computer with Internet access.
