Career development experience for Ada sophomores

Feb. 25 part of English course and advisory program

Ada sophomores have an opportunity for a one-day career development experience on Tuesday, Feb. 25.  Sophomores can be excused from classes on Feb. 25 to shadow a professional in their chosen career path.

All sophomores are required to write a report and do a presentation on a particular career to a teacher and school administrator. Ideally, this report is written based off shadowing a professional on their job site.

The goal of this program is to encourage sophomores to begin the process of determining their career path, which they will further explore and adjust in their junior and senior years.
