Bridges Program Information

Bridges is career exploration software that allows students to match their skills and interests with potential careers. Bridges software is based on the work of John Holland, career specialist, who developed a theory. He characterized people and careers according to six basic types: realistic, investigative, artistic, social, enterprising, and conventional. Every student can take advantage of the software. To explore Bridges, go to http://cx.bridges.com. Use the information below to enter the site:
