What is a Career Coach anyway?
Waynesboro High School, in a partnership with Blue Ridge Community College, provides FREE College and Career Planning services for all WHS students. Mrs. Kim Wood is the full-time Career Coach. She is available to guide students in grades nine through twelve toward post-high school success. She works closely with teachers, counselors, and the local community
as students explore possibilities and prepare for a great future. If your goals involve military service, getting a great job, career-specific certification, or continuing your formal education after high school graduation, your Career Coach is ready to help you...Create Your Future! |
Here are some of the leading student-reported benefits of working with a Career Coach:
|
WHS is located in a region called Virginia's "Rural Horseshoe." In this region, "high school too often marks the end of the educational line. The result is a lifetime of reduced opportunities that ripple across generations. The Rural Virginia Horseshoe Initiative is an ambitious campaign to transform Virginia's rural communities through higher education and 21st-century job skills." This initiative includes placing full-time career coaches in high schools, including WHS. Your Career Coach can help you develop an academic and career plan to prepare you for the future.
