SHS Career Center Newsletter
Week of February 8th, 2021
Message from the Career Center
I think we forget sometimes that trades programs don't always relate to the construction or home industries. There are many trades programs - some are through apprenticeship programs where you are paid to learn, others are offered through 2 year schools such as a community college or a trades college, and some are taught through military service. That is why this week the Career Exploration section will focus on the beauty industry, but will include other opportunities as well.
In the Career Center we are gathering as much information around trades as we are around colleges and we are wanting to share this information with you. If you have a trade you would like more information about or if you are needing help with scholarship information or if you would like help exploring college information, please feel free to contact us. We are here to help and we want to help you find the very best option for you.
