On March 10 and 11, 2020, Valley Unified will continue its series of work skills workshops as part of an Internship Preparation program that addresses Priority #7 in its strategic plan, Rightsizing Education in the Upper St. John Valley.
Strategic Priority #7 is aimed at working with local businesses to enhance experiential learning opportunities for all students through a comprehensive career-focused internship program.
The goal of the work skills training sessions is to prepare students for successful, productive participation in community-based, credit-bearing internships aligned with their career interests.
In January, 9th graders from each Valley Unified high school gathered to participate in workshops on the topics of Positivity, Communication, Conflict Resolution, and Team-Building.
This month, 10th graders at each high school will participate in Safety Awareness sessions according to the following schedule:
Tuesday, March 10 - Madawaska High School - 12 Noon to 2 PM
Wednesday, March 11 - Community High School in Fort Kent - 8:30 AM to 10:30 AM
Wednesday, March 11 - Wisdom High School - 12 Noon to 2 PM
Interested students who meet all criteria will participate in career-focused internships as 11th and 12th graders.
Local businesses also are expected to benefit from the internship program through opportunities to introduce young people to employment opportunities in Upper St. John Valley communities.
