The Career Preparation Period generally represents a student's first 60 days on center. Many of the skills that students previously learned in their last days on center are now taught on the front end during this expanded period known as CPP. During this time, students learn about life on center and focus on personal responsibility and social skills. Trainees work on technology and job search skills. Throughout the CPP, students work with staff to map out and commit to a personal career development plan.
