Career Center Staff

Career Centers in Salinas Union High School District

Each SUHSD comprehensive high school has a Career Center designed to provide every student with meaningful opportunities for college and career exploration. Career Centers are staffed by a Career Technician, Career Counselor, and Work Experience Coordinator, each playing a unique role in student success:

  • Career Technicians - serve as the first point of contact for students, maintaining resources, coordinating events, and supporting students with work permits, community service hours, job opportunities, and scholarships.

  • Work Experience Coordinators (WECs) - help students connect Work-Based Learning opportunities to CTE courses and promote and educate students on how to obtain work permits and community service. 

  • Career Counselors - promote and guide students in choosing a CTE Pathway that is academy-aligned to their goals, conduct career assessments through CCGI, monitor student progress and attendance, and coordinate postsecondary planning.

During spring pre-registration, students select CTE courses with their academic counselor.

For more information on college and career opportunities, please contact the Career Technician, Work Experience Coordinator, or Career Counselor at your school site.
