Did you know that East has a Community and Career Connection site where you can look for a job to help you with your cash flow? The Community and Career Connection is run by Ms. Wilmarth. She is a wonderful resource in getting started looking for work. Even if you don’t know how to get started, the website has job preparation materials so that you can prepare to get a job. The site tells you all about the different resources you need to get a job, like an updated resume, cover letter, New York State ID or Driver’s license and most importantly, if you are under 18 years old, a work permit. To get started looking for a job, fill out the Job Interest Form to show your interests and give your contact information. There is even a work-based learning section on the website. It tells about the opportunities to earn while you learn. You can even get high school credits for some of the programs. These are work-based learning jobs. It also tells about the six career technical education pathways available at East High School. I was in the vision care program for 3 years. I learned many things such as how to pick out frames that best fit a patient's face, how to make a Prescriptions and also check the prescriptions. It was a really good experience. It is well worth your time going to explore the Community and Career Connection website to learn about all the opportunities. Start earning while you learn. Best wishes for success!
