Career Development
Career Development Course
The Career Development program offers a holistic approach to prepare clients for success in college or careers by providing them the skills they need to pursue further study or ace a job interview. Following Maslow's hierarchy of needs, the program offers online instruction in four distinct areas of curriculum, including: mental wellness, health and nutrition, job readiness, and financial literacy. Courses are available for native English speakers as well as those who are learning English as a second language with 12-week and full-year options to accommodate varied student needs.
To ensure client success, this program is required for anyone participating in the vocational training in culinary arts or sewing at Zaman. Zaman has a full-time workforce preparation coordinator to oversee the program whose efforts are complemented by a career navigator to assist students with career exploration, employer engagement, resume building, and other job-readiness activities.
