Student Testimonials
“I have been in the health Occupations classes for two years now. From my experiences, I have learned that I wanted to become a physical therapist. I have been on a couple of job shadows before but I never really knew what happened in emergency rooms and clinics. When I finally got the chance to go on a job shadow to a local physical therapy clinic, I found that I really enjoyed seeing what a physical therapist does. I used to want to be a surgeon but since I didn’t get to a chance to job shadow a surgeon, I changed my career path. Job shadows have a major impact on me so I know what to expect, and what there is to do.”

How much will it cost if my business does not participate in Ready to Learn – Ready to Work?

Answer:

Quality education is an essential part of ensuring a strong economic future.  When our young people are well educated they have better jobs, become more active consumers, and have greater civic involvement.  They are also less likely to require social services and be incarcerated.  It is important to realize that your investment doesn’t just benefit students, it benefits us all.
