Graduate Yelm!
Partners in Our Network
December 11, 2019
Each student will be on a path (starting in kindergarten)
to graduation, continuing education and work.
GRADUATION READINESS
Pacific Mountain Workforce, who is also a Graduate Yelm! partner, has identified the top six sectors as major drivers in our local economy. Do you see your business in one of these industries? Well we do. As part of our K-12 Graduation Readiness work, we help students explore career opportunities and the courses that they can take to prepare them for the workforce.
Middle school students begin developing an electronic portfolio in Career Cruising to identify their skills, interests and abilities and which career fields that potential match up. This past month over 200 students attended HS site visits to learn about STEM courses. Creating a plan requires students to be engaged in personal research and taking advantage of these experiences.
SPEAKING OF EXPERIENCES: Are you able to create onsite visits, job shadows or internships? Contact us to make these connections happen.
