Employers Provide Hands-On Career Exploration to High School Thank you to these employers for their participation this Drug Taskforce, North Suburban Medical Center, North Students year! Washington Fire and Rescue, Office of the District Attorney
At a time when employers are seeking skilled, enthusiastic and motivated new employees but are not certain the most efficient way to find them and students are trying to find a profession that takes advantage of their skills, interests and talents, Experience 9 to 5® – a program of the Adams County Education Consortium now in its fifth year – is helping build that bridge. Throughout October and November nearly 400 students attended sessions offered by employers to get first-hand knowledge of what it is like to be a professional in that industry. They learned the skills and academic proficiency they would need to demonstrate, the type of work they would do as an entry level professional and the environment in which they would work. Professionals already in the field also spoke to the various pathways of success for those interested in following in their footsteps. The gracious donation of time and resources of many employers dedicated to helping create the next generation of employees is critical to this success of this program.
