Career Exploration Office

The Career Exploration Office is a resource for students that has two important objectives:
  • to assist students in identifying potential careers, college majors, and college choices by providing detailed career information before college choices and majors are decided.
  • to incorporate more “real world” experiences into the classroom learning process through career days, job shadowing and internships.

The CEO offers students a “Career Series” during their time at Presentation. The series includes individual and group workshops beginning with a career planning overview and concluding with a senior class one-on-one meeting “Preparing for the Real World." In addition, individual appointments can be scheduled for students to build an individual plan for the future with the CEO director.

Resources include:

  • Intro to Career Planning
  • GetInsights PAT
  • Kuder Career Profiles (3)
  • Career Directions Profile*
  • Internship Listings on PHS website
  • CEO Ono on One College & Career Planning
  • “Me 2020” Fast Forward Snapshot*
  • My Job Possibilities*
  • Resume Workshop**
  • My Resume*
  • Interviewing 101**
  • The Working World - Secrets to Success*

*Students may schedule an appointment with Mr. Crary for these options.
**These opportunities are conducted at Career Days or by appointment with Mr. Crary.
