Career Specialists provide career awareness, exploration, and guidance services to students in public schools, grades six through twelve. Career Specialist funds are provided to districts to lower the SACS guidance ratio of 500:1 to an EEDA legislated ratio of 300:1. The career specialist's role is to assist the guidance counselor in providing career services to students. Career Specialists must complete the 120 hour CDF course and become GCDF certified.
