Tech Tip - College/Career/Trade Exploration

Liz and Mike attended a training @ OCDE a week ago. The topic was increasing the number of seniors who apply to a post-secondary education (CCC, CSU, Private, Trade, Military, etc.). The trainers shared some great resources with us and expressed the importance of weaving in opportunities for students to explore and understand their options throughout high school. Here's a list of resources shared that you can build into your class/grade level:
