STEPS TO GAINING NEW SKILLS
Begin by researching your employment, education and training options on our Resources page.
STEP 1: Meet with a Career Center representative for Individual Career Guidance and conduct an effective job search.

STEP 2: Decide whether you’d like to further your education
- Talk with someone at the North Central Educational Opportunity Center Center
