• TCD on-site business models – All TCD students learn general economic principles and those specific to their career choice.

Career Exploration -- Every incoming TCD student takes the Kuder career assessment, which identifies the student's career interests, abilities, and work values (motivation). The results may confirm the student's program choice or reveal a broader range of possible suitable career paths. In addition, students further explore their career interests through research projects, field trips, guest speakers, work-based learning experiences, competitions, and other activities.

TCD College and Career Fair – This annual November event helps students, parents, and guidance counselors identify post-secondary programs through which students may continue their education in their chosen field.
