College Student, Michigan
"Coming into school, I was very unsure
of what my direction was. It weighed a lot on my mind and when I heard
about the FOCUS program, I decided to give it a try. I am so glad
I did! It gave me the direction I was looking for and lead me into
the education profession, which I am very excited about! I sat down
with a counselor to discuss my results. I recommend it to everyone!"
Homemaker, Saratoga, CA
I want to thank you for developing your career planning
program. It really helped me tremendously. I am 38 years old and a mother
of three who is ready to re-enter the work force. I have a degree in Art
Education. I was thinking about a career change but didn't know where to
start. FOCUS introduced me to a number of occupations that I never would
have thought I was qualified for. Thanks for all your help. |
