Some products received more than 70 unique nominations.” -Courtney Williams District Administration, Nov/Dec 2011.
This year, we are proud to announce that Career Cruising’s popular Course Planner module, recently renamed ccPathfinder, was named one of the Top 100 Products on District Administration’s Reader’s Choice Award List! ccPathfinder is a powerful tool that allows students to create multi-year course plans, which are in line with their career aspirations and graduation requirements. Many of our current users appreciate ccPathfinder for its ease of use, and ability to be completely integrated with their current student information system. One of the unique features of ccPathfinder is that students can see courses organized by career clusters, and can then track how their course selections match up with their careers of interest. It gives students ownership of and engagement in their education since they can see how it directly impacts their future possibilities.
