MCC welcomes area middle school 8th graders to participate in an immersive career quest experience on career pathway endorsements and high school readiness. Students will be able to discover their career pathways, learn about financial literacy, and engage with MCC academic programs and area professionals.
Family Engagement
Be a part of your student’s quest by engaging with your student about their career exploration. Use these questions to begin the conversation.
- What were the top careers that you explored during your quest?
- What did you like and not like about these careers?
- Who do you know that might currently work in these careers?
- Did you feel that the careers matched your interests?
- What other career(s) are you interested in learning more about?
