St. Charles County Career Explorations Alliance
Career Explorations Alliance
Committed to Success
Working to create a more prepared future workforce by building partnerships between schools and businesses to pair students with professionals in our community that have knowledge and experience in a specific career field.
How We Got Our Start
CEA started as a Vision Leader project in 2016 under St. Charles Community College. In 2018, the St. Charles County CAPS program adopted CEA, and since then there has been a part-time CEA specialist that connects students with business partners.

What CEA can provide for you
Job shadowing allows you to get an up close, first-hand view of a specific career field. You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions and to decide if the career field is a good fit for you. You’ll also gain a better understanding of the skills and education required to get a good job. Job shadowing provides you the opportunity to explore new interests and can help you decide on a major or career path. Most importantly, job shadowing allows you to practice soft skills. Soft skills are the traits that you need to be able to work with others in the workplace. Examples of soft skills are a positive attitude, communication skills, maintaining eye contact, and time management. The network you create while job shadowing can help you land an internship or job after graduation.
