In keeping with our mission, the Palisades Learning Center is committed to preparing our students for life's responsibilites. At our new Career Education Center, our "Career Education Program" provides students with the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to make an effective transition from school to career oriented work or to further education and training. By forming local partnerships with post secondary schools, small businesses, government and community-based organizations, students will be able to participate in high-quality work based experiences.

The "Career Education Program" is comprised of three major components:

1. School Based Learning
2. Work Based Learning
3. Connecting Activities

Through these three components students receive a career direction and an awareness of the opportunities and options available to them.

The goals of the "Career Education Program" are:

1. To promote an understanding of the connection of education and work throughout life.
2. To permit exploration of various career paths
3. To increase the likelihood of post-secondary.
4. To provide opportunities for job mentoring internship and job shadowing.

Palisades Learning Center recognizes the diversity of its students and the need to tailor the "Career Education Program" to meet their particular requirements for success. We feel that all of our students, at some level, will benefit from the program. It is our hope that through this program students will make a smooth and confident transition from school to career and life.
