CAREER COUNSELING
Through one on one counseling sessions, workshops, speakers
and on-campus recruiting events, YCCC strives to provide each student with the
opportunity to gain employment in the career field of their choice. Career
counseling offers tips for making great first impressions on an interview,
writing a knockout resume and learning how to dress for success so students can
excel in their chosen profession. The Career Counseling Office also invites
employers to visit the campus and meet YCCC students, providing them with the
opportunity to speak to potential candidates.
ONLINE CLASSES
We know you have a busy life so YCCC made it a priority to
offer this alternative to traditional on-campus classes. While a full degree
cannot be earned online, you can make progress towards a degree from the comfort
of your own home. These interactive courses use an internet-based system that
allows students to participate in class discussions, receive and submit
documents and assignments, and have access to all resources, lectures and course
materials.
DUAL ENROLLMENT PROGRAMS
YCCC’s Dual Enrollment Program offers qualified high school
and home-schooled students the opportunity to experience college level classes
while still in high school. Many of the general education requirements, as well
as technical courses, are available to students interested in this program. You
can discuss the Dual Enrollment Program with your guidance counselor to
determine which programs you qualify for as a high school or home-schooled
student. |
