Maker, Baker or Health Caretaker?
Most students entering grades 6-10 have more questions than answers about choosing their future careers.
Our Career Academies provide real-life experiences that will help students discover their interests and a career that’s right for them.
Many involve plenty of hands-on activities, making them as active and fun as a summer camp!
Conducted by Macomb faculty, our academies include information on the college preparation required for each career.
