The purpose of the Longwood Career Center is to expose students to different types of work environments. This is done by creating simulations that are similar to those seen in the work force. Parallel tasks allow students to understand the routines and procedures that are necessary to become independent and successful. Students work hands on to explore their interests and abilities. Work tasks are created to give students a "real life" feeling of the responsibilities of obtaining, having and maintaining a job.
Students are to try an array of job areas such as; food industry service, hospitality, customer service, clerical, computer/graphic designs, workshop, PAES lab, job readiness and job skills.
