DISCOVERING PATHWAYS.

BUILDING PIPELINES.

CAREER DISCOVERY

is an interactive experience that introduces students to local and regional careers and employers to help them find a career pathway that is just right for them.

PARTNERS. PATHWAYS. PIPELINES.

At Central AlabamaWorks!, we bring industry, jobseekers, students, and training providers together to find solutions for workforce needs.

Our Career Discovery event is a major part of that mission. Students and employers in Autauga, Bullock, Chambers, Coosa, Dallas, Elmore, Lee, Lowndes, Macon, Montgomery, Perry, Russell, and Tallapoosa counties have the opportunity to participate in career exploration and workforce recruitment during Career Discovery.

To make sure we are reaching as many students and employers in our region, Central AlabamaWorks! hosts Career Discovery at two convenient locations; Southern Union State Community College and Trenholm State Community College.

FOR PARENTS

For parents and guardians, Career Discovery is your “go-to” tool when helping your student envision their potential career pathway. Course choices that your eight grader makes going into his or her ninth grade year can affect their future career opportunities.
