My Career Shines

Students

Students in Digital Information Technology classes and Automotive 1 classes have set up an account at MyCareerShines.org. However, ALL students are encouraged to use this free resource to help students research colleges, vocational schools, careers, scholarships and more. We are encouraging students to log on periodically to establish a plan and record their references and achievements so that they’ll be better prepared to apply to schools and get some of it paid for.

Parents: You can also use this site! You can log on as a parent and link to your child’s accounts so you can work together on those plans.
