Website can aid in planning career, college

RUReadyND.com, a website launched by the North Dakota Department of Career and Technical Education and the Bank of North Dakota’s College Planning Center, is a career and college planning resource that is free for all North Dakota students. The website helps counselors, teachers, parents and students find the information they need.

On the site, students can learn which high school courses will prepare them for their future careers, explore scholarship opportunities and even prepare for the ACT using testGEAR.

“RUReadyND.com helps users explore career interests, compare college programs, and even decide which school courses to take based on their interests and career plans,” said Kathy Holle, supervisor of the Career Resource Network at the North Dakota Department of Career and Technical Education. “The site isn’t just for high school students—it’s for anyone, of any age, who is thinking about a career change.”

For more information, students should visit with their school counselor.
