Thank you from the LLCC Career Center

Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate National Career Development Month in November. We are very thankful for all of the volunteers, LLCC Facilities and PRM for making our events and initiatives successful. A special thank you to the Student Government Association for helping students sign up for Handshake during National Career Development Week activities. We had great participation with the My Story posters at all of our locations, and we clearly have an incredibly diverse and talented group at LLCC. We look forward to celebrating again next year in November.

We are excited to invite all faculty, administrators and staff to participate in our passive programming for NCDM. In the first week of November everyone will receive an 8 ½ x 14 poster titled “My Story, From Learning to Earning.” The poster has two columns denoting “My Education & Training” and “My Careers.” In support of NCDM, please complete the poster with your education, training and careers/job titles. Higher education organizations and activities, specialized certifications and related information can be included in the education section. Consider adding your high school or training at CACC if it applies.

Place the poster by Nov. 10 on your door, window, cubicle or other highly visible location where students will be able to see and read your information.

During our National Career Development Week activities (Nov. 13-16), we will encourage students to review the posters displayed throughout the college. Students may choose to connect with faculty, administrators or staff who have career paths in their interest area or who have a connection to a school they are considering transferring to for a bachelor’s degree.
