Eighth grade Career Day at Northeast Community College Wednesday

The Bancroft-Rosalie 8th grade students just finished researching careers as part of their Life Skills class and now they will go to Northeast Community College for a Career Day. The trip is funded through a grant from Education Quest. The grant application was written by Guidance Counselor Mrs. Ras. At Career Day, the students will take the Caps/Cops/Copes interest survey, which will provide information to students about which careers fields match their current interests. This trip serves two important purposes: to get students thinking about college and thinking about what careers they want to explore. High school students that have personal goals make better decisions regarding classes they take are more motivated in school.
