The Troy Pike Center for Technology recently hosted two events aimed at providing students with a deeper understanding of the career options available to them. First, a Careers Are Fun Day was held for students in grades 10-12 from local high schools including Charles Henderson High School, Goshen High School, and Pike County High School. This event aimed to provide students with a comprehensive look at various career paths and foster a sense of togetherness among students from different high schools.
Assistant principal Jamie Rich explained that the day was designed to help students explore their interests and make informed decisions about their future careers. “We want to give these students the tools they need to succeed in their chosen field,” said Rich. “By attending this event, they can learn about different industries and gain insights into what it takes to succeed in those fields.”
In addition to the Careers Are Fun Day event, the TPCT also hosted a Senior Career Signing Day for students who will be entering the military or starting employment or apprenticeships at local businesses and industries. This event provided an opportunity for these students to celebrate their future career paths and accomplishments.
During the Senior Career Signing Day, each student had the opportunity to sign a contract or agreement with their chosen employer or military branch. This ceremony marked a significant milestone in their lives as they prepared to embark on their chosen career path. Many of the seniors expressed gratitude for the support they received from teachers, parents, and friends throughout their journey towards achieving their goals.
Overall, both events were highly successful in providing students with valuable information and resources needed to make informed decisions about their future careers. The Troy Pike Center for Technology continues to play an essential role in preparing young people for success in today’s rapidly changing world of work.
