The
Career Development Program is a state program serving
parents/guardians, staff and students in the three districts which make up the
Tri-Heights Career Prep Consortium: Cleveland Heights-University Heights, Shaker
Heights, and Warrensville Heights. By providing current career-related information
and materials to educators, we promote the life-long learning philosophy of
Ohio's Career Development Model:
"This educational program helps students relate classroom learning
to skills needed for employment and provides students with career-related
information and skills to succeed in the world of work."
