New Daytona State classes aim at career planning
Choosing a career path, setting goals, discovering job-to-personality match — these are all tough but important decisions college students face with the complexity of today’s job market.
A new set of classes aimed at student success — starting with the first semester in school — launches in a few weeks at Daytona State College.
“We recognized that students need a fresh look at job skills and career planning to integrate into their academic choices,” said Charlene Latimer, chairwoman of the School of Student Life Skills at Daytona State.
To that end, her team created a set of three one-credit online career-prep classes, updated a three-credit class in career development and added another three-credit class on diversity and communication. For more on the courses, which start Aug. 26, visit www.daytonastate.edu or call 506-3059.
