OCCUPATIONAL AND JOB PLACEMENT

 

The counselor's role is to assist students in discovering the meaning of work and its relationship to the individual, in developing a positive attitude and a personal identity as a contributing worker, and in understanding their own aptitudes and abilities as they pertain to the world of work.  The counselors will provide information that encourages students to stay in school.

 

The secondary counselor will disseminate occupational and career information to students and provide career counseling.

The jr. high and middle school counselors will administer and implement a variety of career interest tests and career activities and opportunities to all 7th - 9th grade students which include the following:  Kuder Interest Inventory, Career Plan, Smart Core Form, College Connections, 4 X 2 Plan, Arkansas Next,  World of Work Map, and high school classes as they relate to college majors and jobs (college & career ready).
