The 8th grade class went on a career exploration field trip this week with Mrs. Walker to the Career and Technology Center at State Fair Community College. While there, they got to tour all 9 of the amazing career programs the CTC has to offer. During their junior and senior years, our students have the opportunity to participate in free technical training at the CTC. Close instructor contact and hands-on experience connects students to entry-level employment, advanced job training, entry into college programs, entry into apprenticeship programs, or entry into military training. Depending on their life goals, the CTC prepares them to enter the workforce upon graduation and equips them with the knowledge to continue their education. Here are a few snapshots of their day.
We’re excited to announce we have been selected to participate in the state’s Missouri Postsecondary Advising Initiative, which will place trained advisors into high schools, alongside school counselors, to provide students with individualized college and career support. Northwest High School is among 40 schools statewide selected to participate in 2021-2022.
Thanks to the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and rootED Alliance for helping us better support our high school students to prepare for lifelong success!
