Counselors Praise
AzCIS . . .
Its phenomenal
to see how they
[students] take
the information
and how they are
turned on by it.
They learn what
they need to do to
realize their dreams, and they actually set goals based on
what they read in CIS.
Wendi Ellis-Clark, School Counselor
People sometimes have fantasies about occupations and
screen themselves out before even considering them. CIS
allows them to see the realities of the occupations and
encourages them to consider a variety of options.
Melissa Cruise, Job Center Vocational Counselor
Its just such a simple tool and its so user-friendly.
Thats the key. It allows me to be more of a resource
person.
