NC Governor Cooper has proclaimed November 2023 as Career Development Month. Additionally, November 15 is National Career Development Coordinator (CDC) Day.
Sampson County Schools is pleased to introduce you to our four CDCs; Jaclyn Garey, Union High School, Shelley Fussell, Hobbton High School, Heather Tew, Lakewood High School, and Chantel Wilson, Midway High School.
CDCs assist students in understanding the 16 Career Clusters in the National Career Clusters Framework, representing 79 Career Pathways to success in college, career, and citizen readiness. Through career development education, CTE students gain the critical thinking, creativity, leadership, and essential employability skills necessary to thrive in the modern business world and contribute to the vitality of our state and nation. SCS offers 9 career development program areas for students.
CDCs empower students to make informed decisions regarding their post-high school plans, which may include immediate employment in a civilian or military occupation, or further education at a vocational program, community college, or university.
