Beer or Career? Spring Break Alternatives for All Ages
Spring break for students is synonymous with a change of scenery and 24/7 socializing, whether on warm, sandy beaches or in the deep powder of ski resorts.

Senioritis and Life Transitions
From time immemorial, high school and college seniors have been afflicted with a condition appropriately named, "Senioritis."
For several months in the spring, after making decisions about life after high school, many seniors feel suspended in time, waiting for graduation day and the chance to get on with the next phase of their lives. We all recognize the classic symptoms: apathy, distractibility, boredom, restlessness and overall lack of motivation. These conditions are also seen when adults are making career changes. Transitions create some angst about moving toward the unknown.

Help Us Empower More Parents
Does your high school have a Career Vision Partnership? As champions for Career Literacy, we support the career development activities your school offers to students by providing scholarships and free educational presentations for parents throughout the school year. We share "best practices" information and resources to help parents guide their children's college and career decisions more confidently. Call us to find out more.
If you are member of a parent group (homeschool, youth group, sports boosters, club sports, marching band) who would benefit from this type of presentation, please call us.
