If students identify a career plan of action first before starting their college search, it makes their college search easier, LBUSD say.

LAGUNA BEACH, CA — Are you ready for what comes next, Laguna Beach High School students?

The Laguna Beach High School’s College and Career Center and Transition/WorkAbility Department will host its second annual Job and Career Technical Education Fair Monday, March 20 from 2:45 to 3:45 p.m. in the quad area for all students.

“We’re excited to have many of the same employers from last year plus several new ones,” said Cyndi Kimball, transition services coordinator and co-organizer of the event. “Last year we had over 200 students attend and a huge uptick in work permit application requests based on students that were hired by employers they met and interviewed with at the fair.”
