What is Career Awareness?

Career awareness is the ability to understand the many career pathways available for successful long-term employment and the knowledge and skills necessary to begin work in a chosen career, and to progress in that career path.

The Muskegon Area Career Tech Center introduces middle and high school students to a variety of exciting career pathways where they can excel and enjoy using their skills in a rewarding occupation.
