Career Connections DECEMBER 2023
Mrs Bucciarelli IHS Career Connection Coordinator
'Tis the Season
As the weather quickly turns wintry, the college and career center is busier than ever. With seniors getting those college applications done and transcript requests in, the year is moving along swiftly. College visits have come to an end for the fall but we hosted 5 instant decision days this month with Suny Brockport, Monroe Community College, Keuka College, St. John Fisher, and St Bonaventure so students could find out their application decisions right here at school! Our Future Friday guests this month include Rochester Regional to talk about volunteer opportunities in the health care fields in the hospital and the MCC Applied Technology Center to share opportunities in Automotive Technology, HVAC and Machining and Tooling. 30 students went on a field trip to Monroe Community College to participate in a career series focused on careers in Culinary Arts, Dental Studies, Computers and Information Technology and Nursing. The student run Dell Tech club is up and running and students are eagerly awaiting the DECA field trip coming up this December 14th where business students get to compete against other high schools in our region in a business competition! We offer our Work Study program for our student employees and continue to connect employers with students
2023 is coming to a close which means it is almost time to start thinking of course selctions for next year! The course catalog is listed on the front page of the Irondequoit High School web page for your convenience. Students should continue to listen to morning announcements and keep following our newsletter. You can find the newsletter on the main page of the IHS Website- just click on Departments and then Career Center and click on the first item listed. . Students are welcome to stop in the career center located next door to the counseling center at anytime! Look for cupdates and more and more community partnerships developing.
