Did you know? Knox County Career Center Schools District is on the ballot for the first time in 29 years.
"KCCC definitely meant a lot to my professional development. I loved learning the hard skills from Building Trades, even though I never used them professionally. However, the soft skills of teamwork, interviewing, negotiating, etc., did transfer to so many areas of my life. I learned to be more confident through my time at KCCC and I am proud to be an alumni." -Olivia Greenich Stern
KCCC's Student Council hosted Red Ribbon Week October 23-27, reminding students to make healthy lifestyle choices including not drinking alcohol, smoking, and vaping. Student Council hosted various activities including spirit week, a banner to sign committing to safe and healthy choices, giveaways with necklaces, bracelets, and stickers, a root beer float bar, ice your own cookie day, a demonstration with Teen Advisory Council (TAC), and more. Our students enjoyed all the special activities!

CollegeU-Business juniors spent time speaking with Kenton Mickley, Financial Advisor. Prior to his arrival students discussed what an informational interview is and its value. They prepared and conducted an informational interview with Mr. Mickley. They asked questions like why he became a financial advisor, what a typical day looks like, what is his favorite part of his day, what does he do the community, and what are his future goals. The interview helps students learn about careers in finance and professional conduct. Thank you for your time, Kenton!
Students from Health Technologies, Computer Network Technology, Career Based Intervention, CollegeU-Business, Sports Medicine & Exercise Science, and Pre-Prefessional Mentorship participated in the Knox County Careers Expo at KCCC last week.

Great opportunity for our students to learn more about careers in the Healthcare field and ask questions to professionals in the field.
Students in Transitional Living Skills choose a job location to conduct an informational interview. The first interview was held at Papa John's. Students asked questions in order to learn more about what the job entails and expectations from the company. Students spoke with the Papa John's General Manager and took a tour of the facility.

"Attending the KCCC gave me the foundation I needed to pursue a career as a hairstylist and a business owner. The staff was always encouraging and treated students as adults. Teachers there genuinely care about your success during school and after graduation. When you attend the KCCC you will always have a resource to come back to even long after you graduate. I look forward to my children becoming students there!" -Jessica Russell
Mrs. Bush, KCCC School Counselor, held College Application Day on Thursday this week for any students interested in receiving help filling out college applications. Representatives from MVNU, OSU-Newark, and COTC were present to assist with the process.
Students in Building Trades toured three local facilities recently to find out more about the industry. Students visited Kokosing, Mack Industries, and the Ohio Contractors Association's Drexel J. Thrash Training Center. Great opportunity for our students!

"The career center was a great opportunity because it brought me out of my shell and allowed me to do hands-on learning in the lab. I also gained hands-on experience working at a golf course during my senior year for co-op. I met many great people and had a lot of great teachers while I was there!" -Maria (Perry) Moreland
