New Student Orientation sessions always fly by quickly, forcing our office (and the two others we planned with) to carefully consider what information we wanted to share, and more importantly, what we wanted students to walk away with.🤔 We decided to open things up by posing the following question - "Why did you decide to come to college?" Of course, answers have varied. But in many cases, the answers given by students highlighted the undeniable link that exists between Career Services and the student college journey.🔗 We'd love to hear from you! If you attended a college or university - why did you decide to? If you work in higher education - what does your summer orientation look like and how do you make the most of your time with students?💭

Whether it is a Gap Year or about graduating from college, graduates need help in deciding whether they need to be in career or professional pathways or take a break. In today's college acceptance rates there is a continued need for career direction and support, some students have not even decided on which career path and need a break. Gap Year programs offer help for students and we are there to help them at Educational Planning and Counseling Services https://lnkd.in/gaF22kPV

According to the National Institutes of Health, "School-based programs are positively associated with stable employment and full-time work while work-based programs most consistently increase the likelihood that youth with disabilities will be employed in jobs that provide fringe benefits. Analyses also indicate that – once individuals with disabilities are stably employed – they can be employed in “good” jobs that provide employee benefits." The Transition Academy put this research into action by partnering with Diversity Placement Services and Central High School to provide summer jobs for students at Central High School, Hogan Preparatory Academy and the Kauffman School. For 71% of the hard working youth, it was their first job. We look forward to building upon this pilot program and ensuring students get real world experience to prepare them for employment success. #specialeducation #disabilityemployment #realworldlearning #careerpathways
