Academic & Career Advising Center
The Academic and Career Advising Center guides students in developing educational and career pathways, by fostering student success from registration to completion.
Career Technical Education (CTE) prepares students to be college and career-ready by providing core academic skills, employability skills, and technical, job-specific skills. CTE features high school, postsecondary, and industry partnerships, enabling clear pathways to certifications and degrees.
Advising within CTE programs plays a key role in guiding student pathway choices and ensuring that career information is received by all students. Advisors will work with students in career and technical education programs each semester until they have been accepted into their program of choice. Once accepted into their CTE program, the Program/Faculty Advisor will assume the advising responsibilities.
