Rio Hondo College
Faculty at Rio Hondo College integrate career activities into their curriculum in a variety of ways:

§
Career
counselors conduct workshops at the request of instructors. Common topics
include Meyer-Briggs assessments, resume development, and career
exploration.
§
Students
attend business and industry field trips. Business and industries are
selected through contacts with faculty, Advisory Committee members, and
Career Fair participants.
§
Students
attend a career conference focusing on specific vocational and technical
education areas, such as Health, Administration of Justice, and Business.
At the March 18, 2004 Health Careers Conference, attended by over 200
students, speakers represented a wide variety of occupational fields
including EMT, Gerontology, Acupuncture, Trauma Nursing, Physical Therapy,
Pharmacy, and Volunteerism. § The Center has also developed an informational sheet that suggests specific career-related activities that faculty can incorporate into their curriculum. Strategies for curriculum integration are also shared at Flex/Professional Development workshops and networking opportunities.
