Presenter Notes (31KB, MS Word file)
PERCS is a proven, award-winning career development program designed
especially for high school youth. It is a self-management system for
making career and life choices at all stages of one's life. As
participants, you will be able to describe the architecture of the PERCS
program: what it is, how it is organized, its design, objectives,
content, and materials. Then, you will be able to evaluate the value of
the PERCS Program for use in the Tutor/Mentor Connection. Based upon
this evaluation, you will plan next steps.
PERCS enables students to (1) determine who they are; (2) assess their
talents, skills, interests, personality, and needs; (3) define their
dreams, goals, and ambitions; (4) explore the work world; and (5)
develop plans to achieve their career/life goals.
