Alabama Career Association members become prepared for their careers by being oriented to career possibilities. This is achieved through tours, travel, career
development conferences, workshops, career assemblies, job fairs, panel presentations,
guest speakers, career counseling and career information activities. The students also develop the motivation, attitude, and pre-employability skills needed in pursuing a
career, which is reinforced through a program of competitive events.

working with the community or local, state and federal government awareness programs, visits to government offices, community development projects, and through
civic appearances in promoting the Alabama Career Association, as well as working closely with community organizations.
❖ SOCIAL AWARENESS The Alabama Career Association maintains a program of social activities to provide an
outlet for student enthusiasm, motivation, and membership interaction. Members gain knowledge of social graces, poise, and professional etiquette through recreational
