Career Exposure and Exploration


To achieve a fulfilling career, students must first learn about the opportunities available and how they can apply their unique skills in compatible areas of interest. Lehman’s Career Exploration and Development Center is the linchpin that educates, prepares and connects students to a variety of opportunities and opens their eyes to the possible.

Exposure begins in high school with College Now, a FREE dual enrollment and transition program available to qualified New York City public high schools students. Guaranteed admission to Lehman and a modest scholarship are available to successful College Now students.

It organizes your interests, skills, abilities, and values into a clear summary that connects directly to real-world careers.
