CTE Programs at Kamiakin Focus on Job Readiness!

The Career and Technical Education programs at Kamiakin High School worked together to send the same message on job readiness to all CTE students. In order to do this, two days in November were set aside to have students learn from industry professionals.

The first day, November 23rd, the focus was on the paper tools necessary for applying for a job and getting an interview. Four WorkSource professionals talked with the students about the do’s and don’ts for resumes, job applications, employment correspondence, and many other tips. Students were given pocket applications and encouraged to ask questions.

On Tuesday, November 24th, the focus was on interviewing and avenues to get great jobs and careers. There were good and bad interviews presented and then a panel of professionals provided crucial advice to students. The panel consisted of representatives from Battelle, the Forest Service, the health industry, and photography.

We appreciate the community support and feel that the days were successful. An estimated 900 students were involved each day.
