Connections

Walker Career Center's Work & Learn Program Newsletter-02.21

What's In a Name?

Welcome to "Connections"--a shorter way to say "Walker Career Center's Work & Learn Program Newsletter!" Connections is what the Work & Learn program is all about! Students are making connections between what they are learning in their classes and the real world. They're connecting with professionals who provide new insights and opportunities. Walker Career Center's community partners are also making valuable connections with the future workforce, helping train and mentor students who often become their loyal employees. Our goal is to continue making new connections in the community.

Upcoming Career Fair!

Summer break is only 4 months away! If your company will have any job or internship opportunities for students for Summer 2021, we'd love to include you in our upcoming virtual Career Connect Fair. Please email info to: acriswel@warren.k12.in.us. More details to come soon.

Student Spotlight

Brandon Harper is a senior Finance Academy student. He has a work-based learning position at TCU. He said, "More students need to know about work based learning. It's a really good experience. I've learned new skills, such as how to be professional, actively listen, and handle responsibilities."
