School to Careers forms a partnership between school and business to address the challenge in classrooms and work places by providing students exposure to a multitude of careers while theyre still in school. This is accomplished through job shadowing, internships and apprenticeships, through business end industry which are reinforced through courses in school. As a result, students do not spend several years after high school searching for jobs, or if they go to college, trying different majors, saving resources in both time and money. School to Careers begins with awareness in elementary school, which progresses to exploration in middlejunior high and culminates in preparation in high school to show students career options and help them identify the pathways available to them. Because School to Careers de- - ' pends on partnerships within the community, employers are asked to become involved right from the start by something as simple as participating in Career Days. They are asked to speak in classrooms or host field trips to help students understand what the work place is like. Prospective employers may help other students by allowing them to job shadow, serve internships or apprentice. According to Jane Gurr, Employer Relations Representative with Work Force Services in Roosevelt there are 250 job shadowing partners in the Uintah Basin, where students can spend day observing the workings of a business, from a ranching operation to a hospital. There are 70 active internships currently where students can actually perform hands-o- n work in a field they are interested in, with approximately 100 that have occurred to date. School to Careers isn't just up to schools and employers. Parents and citizens are asked to contribute by supporting the program through volunteer efforts, such as becoming a mentor or supervisor of a School to Career student, supporting development of Student Education Occupation Plans (SEOPs), encouragement by school counselors, and helping children to understand how hands-olearning, dependability, end strong work ethic can affect their future earning power. School to Careers was crested to address e fundamental change in the world brought about by technological and economic changes. The program helps youth to prepare to face the challenge of the future by making School to Career a solid possibility. n |
