Massachusetts Career Development Education

Career Development Education offers students a framework for gaining the knowledge, skills, and experiences necessary to navigate the myriad of options available for post-secondary success. Students participate in a well-designed sequence of CDE activities that become progressively deeper and more intensive as the students gain skills and maturity. CDE also addresses student attitudes and beliefs about their future selves, ensuring a personalized approach to their learning process.
