Each November, schools and colleges from across the state hold contests to celebrate National Career Development Month. Winners from these local contests are then forwarded to the state contest. The NCDA, a division of the American Counseling Association, sponsors the poetry and poster contest to highlight the importance of life-long career development. Entrants are invited to inspire career development while emphasizing the national theme. This year’s theme was “Using Career to Break Barriers, Empower Lives and Achieve Equity.” Multiple divisions in the contest include grades K-12, adult student, and open adult categories. State winners will automatically proceed to the national level competition. For more information about the contest, contact Mike Roope, WCC Career Counselor at 336-838-6147.
