Career Choice
The Career Choice is a series of educational seminars offered twice a year during the fall and spring months. Each year PADC targets middle school, high school and college students who reside in the District of Columbia and Maryland. One of the unique aspects of the Career Choice is it is free to the public and offered in the community. The focus is to increase student's knowledge of educational opportunity and occupations related to science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). Since these fields are unrepresented by African Americans, the goal is to broaden student's knowledge and awareness and aid in the development of student's occupational goals.
