ABOUT THE STUDENT/CAREER SERVICES LABS
The Department of Career Preparation has established Student/Career Services Computer Labs in the student services department in several middle and senior high schools in Miami-Dade County Public Schools. These Student/Career Services Labs are an effective way of delivering an array of personal, social, educational and career learning experiences to groups of students. By using the Student/Career Services Lab, students may receive career and occupational awareness, and affective and cognitive learning while becoming computer literate.

A Student/Career Services Lab assists students socially, personally, and educationally, and may provide students with competencies such as study skills, test-taking skills, resource utilization, and problem solving skills. The lab may also help students by educating them in drug abuse prevention, decision making skills, conflict resolution, listening skills and knowledge of learning styles.

It is necessary to be computer literate. A computer may be used for education, organization, creativity, and communication. The use of a Student/Career Services Lab gives the students another place to use their computer skills, and make good use of the internet to do research, and gather information on careers, schools, financial aid, etc.

The student/career services team: guidance counselor, career specialist, TRUST counselor, CAP advisor, school psychologist and social worker have access to the Student/Career Services Lab.
