Counseling Services
The Student Services Department provides counseling services for prospective and currently enrolled students. Individual counseling sessions are available. In
counseling sessions test scores are explained and other information is provided to assist in decision-making. Student Services assists students exploring
career options in order to make appropriate workforce training choices. The primary focus of counseling is to help individuals become more aware of
their interests, abilities, personal and social behaviors, values, and work preferences as they relate to career choices. After the student makes a
program selection, the Student Services staff reviews the policies and procedures with the student during an orientation session.

Students using the resources during class time must have a Media Services pass signed by the program instructor. All students wishing to use the
Internet in the Media Services must fill out and follow the Leon County School District/Media Services Acceptable Use Policy form. Use of the Internet is
limited to school-related research and/or to access information that falls within the guidelines as established by Leon County Schools.
Use of the resources and materials of the Media Services is a privilege. Failure to adhere to the policies and procedures in the use of these materials
and resources may result in a loss of these privileges.
Placement and Follow-Up Services
Student Services provides placement services to all students to secure employment. Student Services assists Lively students completing a program of
study to find meaningful work. Students seeking part time employment while enrolled at Lively can also be referred for assistance in getting a job.
Follow-up on students is conducted after a student leaves or completes a program. This process is mandated by state and federal regulations and is
used to evaluate and upgrade instructional programs. This helps to ensure that training provided serves the needs of area employers and students.
General Education Development (GED) Prep
The GED program helps prepare students for academic and personal success through obtaining the necessary skills required to pass the Official GED
Test and be awarded a State of Florida High School Diploma. This program strives to motivate students not only to obtain a GED but also to utilize
the acquired skills in the workforce and to achieve career and vocational training. This program is provided on the Lively campus through the Leon
County Schools Adult and Community Education Program. For more information call 850-922-5343.
Vocational Preparatory Instruction (VPI)
Vocational Preparatory Instruction (VPI) provides instruction for students who need to upgrade basic skills in reading, language arts, mathematics,
study and reference skills and other related instructional areas. Using information for the student's Test of Adult Basic Education summary, instructors
prepare individual prescriptive lessons for the student. The primary objective of this instruction is to assist the student in meeting the state
basic skill exit level requirement for the training program in which (s)he is enerolled. This is required in order for the student to obtain a certificate
from the training program, if the program length is 450 hours or more. The requirements for each program are available in Student Services. Students who
desire to remain in the VPI program after achieving the minimum exit level requirement may do so if space is available, but are required to pay tuition.
Remediation of the basic skills may occur prior to or concurrent with enrollment in the vocational program. Students shall enroll in the Lively
Vocational Preparatory Instruction (VPI) program unless documentation is provided that the student is currently enrolled in an approved alternate
public or private school remedial program. Tutorial and Hybrid On-line programs are not approved for this purpose. Students who need remediation
shall remain continuously enrolled in the remedial program and shall not enroll solely in the vocational program until the required basic skill level
is achieved.
