NEW CHOICES/NEW OPTIONS
CAREER DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
The New Choices/New Options Career Development Program assists single
parents, homemakers, and persons interested in exploring job opportunities which
have traditionally been held by the opposite gender.
To be eligible, an individual must be a single parent, homemaker, or a student
who is enrolled in a non-traditional curriculum (percentage of gender bias is greater
than 75%). Persons must also meet certain financial eligibility guidelines.
Services include career, academic, and personal counseling as well as tuition
assistance. Group sessions in goal-setting, time management, stress management,
work and career assessment, gender bias, resume writing, interviewing skills, and
job search strategies are included in the guidance cycles offered through the program.
Funding is made possible through the Pennsylvania Department of Education.
