Serving students in grades K-12 throughout Kettering City Schools. I am dedicated to providing career awareness, exposure, and experiences that will help our students become "future focused."
Our goal is to equip every student with the knowledge and opportunities to explore a variety of career pathways, and throughout the year, we will offer programming such as career speakers, field trips, job shadowing, and work-based learning experience.
‘24-’25 District Career Focus Areas
All students K-12 will be exposed to various career pathways throughout this school year. We kicked September off focusing on careers in Skilled Trades and will move into Engineering and Manufacturing careers in October.
All elementary students will have the opportunity to learn about these careers through weekly announcements and career posters.
Middle School and High School students will learn about these careers through weekly lessons, field trips, career speakers, and lunch and learns.
Do you have an upcoming lesson that incorporates career awareness? Please Contact Nicole Will! We hope to start highlighting the already existing great work of our teachers at all grade levels!
