COUNSELOR CORNER

  Did you know that certified automotive technicians can make $100,000 per year, executive chefs can earn $84,000 annually, and that it's not uncommon for some Web site designers to earn $78,000 per year? Where do students learn the skills and gain the valuable hands-on experience required for these and many other high-paying professions? The answer is simply, "in any of Palau's career/technical education programs."

This valuable information will assist counselors in helping students plan their education and career paths. Counselors can help students identify their interests, provide information to parents about colleges and financial aid, and share tips for success in school.


Counselors, guide your students in planning their education and career paths for ultimate success!
