CAREER PLANNING
OHIO MEANS JOBS
In October, the 8th grade students begin discussing careers.
Take a look at the Ohio Means Jobs website. All students will create an account where they can build a resume, research jobs, explore interests, and even apply for jobs! Once this is created, you can use his/her individual user name and password to log in.
In Novermber, 8th grade students visit Pioneer.
We break into groups of 10-12 students and tour all of the programs Pioneer offers. These are brief introductions (3-5 minutes) of each program. While short, this is a great way for students to see what options are available to them when they become Juniors and Seniors.
Some students will have the opportunity to go back later in the school year. At this time, boys and girls get to spend the entire school day visiting programs that may be non-traditional in regards to gender. Announcements will be made to alert students of these opportunities.
