Thank you to the WVU Extension Service for partnering with PCMS to offer a Career Readiness Program to many of our 7th and 8th grade students.
The program included: exploring career options, setting goals, creating a vision board, job shadowing, soft skills, job applications, how to build a resume, how to dress for an interview, and interview techniques.
Today during the ninth session, students participated in a mock interview with an interviewer to test their skills and to provide tips for improvement.
