 A total of 75 students from Mohonasen will have the opportunity to shadow employees for a day from General Electric,
Time Warner, and in Assemblyman
Tedisco's office during February and March.
The goal is to encourage volunteer mentors across the nation to welcome a middle school or high school student into their workplace to show what a job is like and how the skills learned in school may be put into action.
“Students get to see what happens in the career of their choice,” said Business Education teacher and
Junior Achievement liaison Latefah Lang. “It is a snapshot of the day, where they can apply what they learned in the classroom in the real world.”
Junior Achievement (JA) is the largest and fastest growing nonprofit economic organization in the world. Each year more than four million elementary, middle and high school students across the U.S. participate in JA programs.
Mohonasen students have additional opportunities for extended internship experiences through the district’s Career Exploration Internship Programs (CEIP).
Juniors and seniors at the high school can participate in one of the two exploration programs: the General Career Exploration Internship Program and the Early Childhood Education Career Internship Program. These two programs help students to establish positive contacts with local businesses and school communities. Students learn first hand what kinds of skills and education are necessary to be successful in their chosen field. The programs give students the chance to test out career interests before they — or their parents — invest hard earned money in college or other training.
Students or local businesses that are interested in General CEIP should contact Susan Braiman at 356-8323 for more information. For more information
about Early Childhood Education CEIP, contact Jean Vause at 356-8300, ext. 3019.
