On the morning of Sept. 18, Seymour High School seniors participated in senior seminars with faculty from Ivy Tech Community College in Columbus.
Groups of seniors attended three sessions: Professional communication and professionalism, interview preparation and the game of life. It ended in the auditorium with seniors hearing from three SHS graduates who are current Ivy Tech students studying a variety of areas, including nursing, mechanical engineering and business. Upon exiting the auditorium, the students received Ivy Tech swag. They also are now eligible to win a $1,000 scholarship from Ivy Tech.
On Sept. 19, different groups of seniors will rotate between the sessions.
In August, all of the seniors had sessions on career awareness and finding purpose, what employers want by industry and résumé and LinkedIn.
After completing the senior seminars, the seniors will be ready to create their résumé in English class that they will submit for when they participate in the annual senior mock interviews the week of Oct. 28 to Nov. 1.
JCIDC partners with SHS for the senior mock interviews, helping pair each student with an interviewer who works in the field in which they are interested.
