Reflections on Our "Counselor Days" Open House Series

At the heart of Career Development Solutions lies the power of collaboration and community. Recently, we had the privilege of hosting a series of six "Counselor Days" open house events across our in-person training centers, where we welcomed counselors and workforce partners for an immersive experience. These events were more than just tours; they were hubs for networking, learning, and partnership-building.

Our "Counselor Days" were designed to provide workforce partners with an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at our training centers. Each event offered a unique opportunity for counselors from local workforce centers and partner agencies to explore our facilities firsthand, and learn as our students do from one of our instructors.
