Educational Pathway & Career Advising

Educational Pathway

Prime Time is committed to strengthening the skills of those working in the out-of-school time field. A survey of the local afterschool workforce revealed that practitioners come from a variety of backgrounds, both educational and experience-based. A “one-size-fits-all” program will not work for everyone.Prime Time and its partners realize the importance of providing practitioners with choices as they make plans for their personal and professional development.

Individuals from across the afterschool field worked together to design formal college credit or certificate and informal non-credit professional development tracks that would offer practitioners different entry and exit points, depending on their needs and goals.Because it is important for practitioners to receive credit for their commitment to their personal and professional development, Prime Time partnered with Palm Beach State College (PBSC). Through the partnership with PBSC, coursework is offered in a variety of ways and offers practitioners the option of receiving credit hours or CEUs for successfully completed coursework.

Career Advising

Prime Time offers career advising that is designed to provide professional guidance and empower practitioners to develop meaningful educational plans that are consistent with their academic, personal and professional goals.  It is an ongoing partnership with practitioners to help them recognize and pursue their passions and to challenge them to set realistic academic and professional goals to ensure their personal success.
