Events Calendar

As champions for Career Literacy, we establish partnerships with high schools, colleges, businesses and community organizations that are committed to providing the best career and college major planning resources for students and parents. As a public service, our presentations give them essential information they need to guide their children's college and career exploration and decision-making. We also hold open houses at our office in Glen Ellyn, and present on career management topics to mid-career adult audiences.

Whether your group numbers 12 or several hundred, give us a call. You be can be instrumental in helping parents learn the components of making great career choices with their children by scheduling a presentation or providing an introduction to a school administrator, guidance counselor, or parents club.

If your busy schedule doesn't allow you to attend a presentation, feel free to call us for a copy of the handouts distributed.
