Educators

Students start off the year with an Employer kickoff. They continue the year with soft skills training, industry-specific training, tours and real interviews that will lead the students to pathways such as full-time employment, short-term training, apprenticeships or an associate degree. At the end of the year, we celebrate that our high school graduates are “ready to work”.

“I feel like every student should take advantage of this program before they graduate high school. Because it isn’t just about a career, it isn’t just about whether or not I want to go to college or whether or not I want to go to work. We learn life skills.”

Dawn Howard, Ready to Work Teacher at Vincent High School.
