Career Development Council, Inc. is hosting the NYS Civil Service to speak with our local graduating high school students to demystify Civil Service. I was not aware of the opportunities within Civil Service until I was 36 years old and took my first exam. With exam fees waived this year and many exams being waived, now it is easier than ever to get into a public service career.

At the Career Development Council, we connect business and education to prepare students for career awareness, exploration, and choices. Through career days, mock interviews and job shadowing, we expose students to many careers and help them connect their skills to potential real-world job openings in our community. Our goal is to create a sustainable model where students are informed, businesses are engaged, and we together develop the future talent that will drive our community forward. We’re not just serving schools—we’re here for the entire community, and we value the involvement of our local businesses and volunteers who make all this possible. Please join us on FLX Gives Day, November 14th 6pm to November 15th 6pm. No contribution, sharing our post, or matching our contributions is too small!!! Your contribution to Career Development Council empowers our students with skills and confidence they need to succeed in today’s workforce. Together, let’s invest in the future talent of our community!! #FLXGives

Thank you to the North Atlantic States Regional Council of Carpenters for educating the students at Thomas A. Edison High School about your careers!

Last week students at Broadway Academy in Elmira learned what a career in the arts might look like! At this year’s first Cookies & Careers event, solo performer Tim Collins took students through a series of exercises you might just encounter if you choose to pursue a career in the performing arts. Students laughed as they learned! Tim has been working as an actor, playwright, and educator since 2000 and has performed educational one-man shows and workshops for more than 1,000,000 students, parents, and teachers nationwide, often focusing on the important topics of bullying and violence prevention. We were privileged to have our children learn from such an experienced and enthusiastic “artsy” professional! Thank you, Tim Collins Solo Performer!
