Career Center

Greetings Hornets,

The last two newsletters have been pretty heavy in college requirements. There are a lot of deadlines in the first few months of the school year for seniors around college. Make sure you or your student is aware of the college deadlines and requirements by checking the college's website admissions page.

Planning to head straight to a career or apprenticeship.

• Get your resumé together for employment applications.
• Find out what requirements are needed for employment.
• Apprenticeships have applications as well and some require an entrance exam.
• Apprenticeships can be found on Labor and Industries website
• Link is available in the resources section of this newsletter.

Below is a list of events, I wish to draw attention to a few from the events section.

• Financial Aid Applications for college open 1 October 2021 - it does not matter what your family income is, fill it out. Many colleges use Financial Aid information to award scholarships including Merit and College Bound Scholarships.
• We have a handy tool Going Merry to assist with completing Financial Aid applications and Scholarships. The link is in the resources.
• ASVAB Exam is October 6 open to Juniors and Seniors
• PSATs are October 13, sophomores are free, freshmen and juniors are $18 - pay at the high school cashier or online at the district website under Business & Operations - Online Payments. (see link near the bottom of newsletter)
• There are also lots of visitors from colleges and industry to visit students during Hornet Time. Please sign up in the Career Center.

If you or your student is planning to take the PSAT, SAT, or ACT this year and needs accommodations. A 'Consent Form for Accommodations Request' form is required. Please see the resources section for the link to the form there is one for PSAT/SAT and one for ACT.

As always, need assistance, I am here to help. Contact me.
