Show Hands-O- n Experience - ENGH FLORAL'S GIGANTIC Career Program At GHS Eliminates Guessing Games by OlgaMilius GRANGER. Students involved with EBCET (Experience Based Career Education Together) at Granger high are having the opportunity to discover for themselves if the things they think they would like to do as a career or job are really what they want. The students involved come from the school's resource program under the direction of Joelda Fauver. Upon entering the program, the student and Mrs. Fauver visit the schools career center and discuss and explore areas of interest, then do a career search, assisted by Helen Taylor, center director. After discussing broad centers of interest, the choice is narrowed down, then, in the classroom, students search to discover the exact business or service that seems suited to fill their needs, she explained. We use the yellow pages, personal awareness of the community, any sources we can think of, and select two or three businesses that seem to fit the bill for each student. Then I make contact and arrange to meet personally with someone at the business to talk about our program and explain our needs, Mrs. Fauver said. I cant say enough in praise of the support I receive from Dr. Mary Jean Johnson (Granger principal) the staff here and the career center people. Or the community. The people in the business area are wonderful to work with, she said. She explains to her contact that the business was chosen because it is the students own area of interest. Students are considered volunteer workers and are not paid for their time. This does require time on the part of the resource person. We at least prefer the student be e three months, although in some cases, the job is such that the time must be lengthened, she explained. One student is working with an auto mechanic who handles modern and antique cars, including body work and upholstery, which requires more time, she noted. It takes time for someone to train the student, with no prospect of definite future use to the firm, no kind of reward except seeing the growth and interest develop in the student, she pointed out. The students interest comes first, she saidi and no pressure is applied to change 1 students" mind from what he thinks he would enjoy. Sometimes a student develops a love for a type of work that may lead into a career. Or, occasionally, a student finds that what he had thought of as his favorite job isnt a bit the way he pictured it, as in the case of a student who wanted to work with animals, but when he tried it, found it wasnt what he had expected. The student is required to be at the job site at least two hours daily. Many get so involved they spend additional time there on their own, she said. Some become so adept that the r daily stint leads to part-tim- e employment after hours, she added. Students are required to call both the school and their job site if they are going to be absent. We are teaching skills, but also responsibility, the teacher noted.
