I found the CDF class extremely helpful in the career prep piece at the vocational center. On numerous occasions I was able to use what I had learned in class with students the very next day. The CDF class has been one of the most practical classes I have ever taken.

As a vocational counselor, I found the class very helpful, especially all the information about career testing and assessment. Jim and Catherine really took the mystery out of this topic. It was also quite enjoyable to learn form the other students all the many ways that career development and facilitation can be used.

Jim’s CDF course was amazing. I learned a great deal about the labor market, the economy and counseling techniques. I also got hands-on experience and after each class, I returned to my campus and applied the new learning immediately!

My CDF class updated my awareness of labor trends, labor market information and counseling strategies. And it reintegrated passion into my career planning and college planning services with MEOC participants.

Jim, the course was amazing. It was career counseling 101 plus. I learned a great deal about the labor market and the economy and counseling techniques and received hands-on experience with a number of different resources, including job-seeking, employability skills and working with groups. After each class meeting, I returned to my campus and applied the new learning immediately!

Feedback from participants in Jim’s CDF workshops shows the level of experience and expertise he brings to the table. Jim translates his theoretical experience and expertise into practice, making the content more authentic and accessible to participants.
