So Many Opportunities NEXTSTEP- P's T's S's
Welcome back to When the Wind Blows...an Epic podcast for parents, teachers, leaders and anyone vested in world of education
How did you get involved in education? What made you bring that to Epic?
Why did you suggest this topic?
CareerTech -- Students at Epic are enrolled at career tech sites all across the state in many different programs. We have students pursuing computer coding, engineering, cosmetology, culinary arts. While in high school they are learning skills and earning a certificate. Interested students should begin researching what career tech programs they may be interested in applying for anytime between 8th-10th grade. Generally students apply for CT during 10th grade year of high school.
Concurrent -- Students at Epic are enrolled all across the student at local colleges and universities taking college coursework which allows the student to earn both high school and college credits at the same time.
AP -- Epic is offering some AP coursework this year which is another way for a student to prepare for the rigor of college and allows them the opportunity to test out of college coursework.
Internships -- Students seeking hands on experience in a certain career or industry can participate in an internship. This can allow a student to gain experience which either helps them eliminate certain career fields or gets them even more excited about certain career fields. Students who participate in an internship can earn high school credit. ENN OPP
