The transition from high school to higher education, occupational training, or a career can be difficult for students—especially those who are considered “at-risk.” Extra career planning assistance came today for students attending El Centro Jr./Sr. High School, a Sacramento County Office of Education (SCOE) Juvenile Court School program at the Sacramento County Youth Detention Facility.
Students had a chance to meet prospective employers and learn about job hunting techniques, as well as how to access post-secondary and community resources from the following:
- 3Strands Global Foundation
- Boys & Girls Club
- Discovery Challenge Academy
- Employment Development Department (EDD)
- Job Corps
- La Familia Family Counseling Center
- Northern California Construction Training (NCCT)
- North State Building Association
- Sacramento LGBT Community Center
- Sacramento Metro Fire Department
- Sacramento Regional Conservation Corps
- SMUD
- Southgate Recreation and Park District
- US Army
- Western Pacific Truck School
SCOE provides a junior and senior high school curriculum for students housed in facilities supervised by the Sacramento County Probation Department. The education program utilizes a standards-aligned curriculum and career-technical education to provide relevant learning experiences for students. In partnership with Probation, the program helps students develop and implement a student success plan for effective living and learning, preparing them for a future without recidivism.
