“TDL is an ever-changing industry that provides growth opportunities for those who seek it out. TDL has many different aspects, including trade and customer service. To work in TDL, you have to possess good Soft Skills and learn quickly in a fast-paced environment.”

Career Compass Academy Graduate

“Before this program, I knew absolutely nothing about jobs or careers. I thought I was never going to do anything in my life because I knew nothing, but thanks to this program, it has taught me a lot not only about careers, but about myself and different ways to build skills and how to write resumes. I loved this program!”

“I had no idea what a Skilled Trade was or what jobs were included in Manufacturing. I learned so much.”

Career Compass Academy Graduate

“I learned that the Healthcare industry is vast and contains many diverse careers outside of being a doctor or nurse. Other fields like Marketing, Housekeeping, and Information Technology are all involved in Healthcare.”
