Developing individual plans and studies to give students the chance to acquire the skills to investigate the careers and employ strategies to attune to their future career goals, the Pottawatomie County Economic Development Corporation has recognized the efforts of counselors in Wamego High School and elsewhere in the community to network, mentor, job shadow, and coordinate internships that 50 out of the 95 in the senior class participated in.
Executive Director Jack Allston highlights that developing that individual plan of study is the real key, as students take the Work Keys test in February of their junior year, and then wrap their plan of study into the internships that they’re going to have.
