Talene Sarkissian, the Next
CYBER SECURITY SLEUTH
Talene Sarkissian is a graduate of our Workforce Prep program at Warren Mott High School and current undergrad at Tiffin University where she is studying for a degree in cyber security with a minor in homeland security and terrorism. With help from her College Success Mentoring (CSM) coach, Beth Wagner, Talene overcame COVID-related challenges and is on track to graduate an entire semester early.
Our New 7-Year Model, BUILT FOR SUCCESS
We retooled our Workforce Prep program into a seven-year multi-channel model. We engage students starting in 10th grade and mentor them throughout their college or trade school years while providing flexibility with in-person and virtual experiences. Students will learn life skills, explore education and career options, create a long-term strategic plan, develop job readiness skills, tackle college obstacles, and be connected to job opportunities.
Our 2020-21 IMPACT Was IMPRESSIVE, Despite COVID
To say this past year was a challenge would be a gross understatement. Yet, despite all the difficulties our 596 students faced, our impact was impressive, especially when considering our students did not have in-person schooling.
