Background
Career Exploration GED 251 is one part of the Centenary Plan, a three-pronged program of experiential learning designed to enhance the traditional liberal arts course of studies.
The six (6) sections of Career Explorations GED 251 meet once a week for 3 weeks, totaling 4.5 hours of classroom instruction each semester.
Purpose
Career Exploration GED 251 is designed to increase the student’s awareness of the career decision-making process, to help them explore their career choices through experiential learning, and to expand their understanding of the relationship between their education and the world of work.
