Career Resources

The Andrew guidance department strongly believes that life after high school is not a "one-size-fits-all".  We support students who are planning to enter the workforce, trades, two-year institution, four-year insitution, and the military. We believe in encouraging the passion and the path it takes to get there. We work with our students through various mediums of career exploration.
