Determining a career path is one of the biggest decisions that anyone will make. In fact, actually choosing a career is a relatively new concept in the course of history. It has only been in the last 40-50 years that college has become accessible to most people. Before that people were apprenticed, inherited the family business, or just took whatever work they could find.

This new freedom of choice brings a new set of responsibilities and worries. Youth have no way of knowing how far reaching this decision can be but they do see how others are affected when they find themselves in a career field for which they do not care. So there is a question that looms, "What if I pick the wrong career?"

Blueprints uses a wide variety of tools to help teens explore their world and themselves. Students tour local businesses like Woodcraft Industries and AccuWeather as well as getting to visit several places at Penn State University. They have the opportunity to grow as a group and learn the dynamics of working with others. They also take part in an in-depth assessment of their abilities, interests, and values, helping them to see which careers might be right for them.

Enrollment is already underway for the next Blueprint program. Blueprints is looking for motivated students who have shown a good work ethic in school. Classes are held Monday thru Friday, July 20-31, 9 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the PICCC office in the Woskob Industrial Park near the Nittany Mall.

Please register now or call 814-237-8998 and ask about enrollment in the Blueprint for Success Program.
