28. YOUTH CAREER NAVIGATOR
The Career Pathway Navigator is an intermediary to schools and employers.
Provides support to both students and employers.  
The students are supported through a continuum of career services including: career awareness, career exploration, and career preparation and training.
Through these service students gain practical employability skills (soft skills: problem solving, communication, professionalism, teamwork, etc.) via job shadows, workplace tours, and guest speakers.
