The Covington Business Council and Covington Partners, which operates a mentoring program at Covington Independent Public Schools, are working together to launch a work-based mentoring initiative.
Stacie Strotman, executive director of Covington Partners, said that the benefits that the group s pilot program with Salyers Group in 2019 brought benefits to students and to Salyers.
“The students in the program earned an average cumulative GPA of 3.8. In addition, 100% of the student mentees received academic scholarships to college,” she said. “Salyers Group was a wonderful partner, and they were able to hire two of the students at the conclusion of the pilot.”
About 500 students normally participate in Covington's various summer programs across the district, but district leaders expect to see closer to 850 this year. In order to make sure those students have enough teachers, the district is doubling their hourly summer pay from $24 to $50.
