What are college and career coffee chats?
The pathway to college today is flexible. Families need to investigate all the options, including your area Career Tech programs – they are likely NOT what you think!
Special event for parents of 6-10th graders…get a jump on what you should know!
- These “super-electives” give your student an advantage when planning for college.
- Discover educational & career options available to YOUR student including College Credit Plus, AP, and IB and special district-specific programs.
- Engage now to be prepared later.
- Today’s career tech is SO different from “vo-tech” we knew.
- CTE programs enhance a college prep plan.
- Unique and powerful experiences your student could easily miss.
Today’s CTE programs vary by institution but may include: Engineering/Manufacturing, Robotics, Marketing/Logistics, Pharmacy, Pre-Nursing, Pre-Vet, Zoo School, Exercise Science, App Development, Computer Networking, Cybersecurity, Art Design & Communication, Web Design/Development, and Digital Media Production.
At The Core works with various career tech schools like Tolles, Delaware Area Career Center, Great Oaks Career Campuses, and Eastland-Fairfield Career and Technical Schools to spread knowledge to families about their programs.
Read what some parents had to say:
“I am glad you are doing these sessions with Tolles…I attended one of these when my now senior was a sophomore, and it helped me decide to let my son attend Tolles.
Several colleges that we visited were very interested to learn he had branched out of a traditional school setting and already had so much hands on experience from Tolles. I encourage parents to look into this option…”
“I almost didn’t go to the coffee talk but am so grateful that I did…I attended Beth’s informational meeting several years ago and was very impressed with the DACC presentation. My daughter is now a junior in the Digital Design program and absolutely loves it.
The atmosphere is more like college than high school which really appeals to her. The teachers are wonderful — very knowledgeable and encouraging. She has gained so much self-confidence through her participation in a student organization and got her first paying job in her field of study.
When I was in high school, there certainly were not the exciting opportunities at the local vocational school that the Delaware Area Career Center provides today. I can’t say enough good things about Beth Probst, At the Core, and DACC!!”
Today’s career tech programs provide an extension of the college-prep curriculum available to your student with the added bonus of free college credit and industry credentials.
Students gain an experience available nowhere else through what we like to call “super electives.”
Beth Probst and representatives from area college/career schools partner to facilitate a discussion with parents of 6th to 10th grade students (6th to 9th grade at spring chats) about all the programs offered and how these experiences lead to future benefits to both college and career!
