C-GCC Launches Computer 

Forensics Program 

Columbia-Greene Community College will launch a new 

Computer Security and Forensics Degree program, beginning with the 

upcoming spring semester. L The 63-credit program was recently 

approved by the state Education Department. Students can enroll in 

courses for the curriculum weekdays, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., or 

during Open Registration Day, Jan. 11, from 9:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. (the 

college will be closed from Dec. 25 through Jan. 1). 

A joint effort of the college’s criminal justice and 

computer science departments, the CSF degree was 

developed to address the growing local need to 

secure computer networks and to investigate computer-related 

crime. 

With threats to computer networks from muchpublicized 

viruses and hackers on the rise, companies 

are increasingly seeking workers skilled in network 

security. The security need exists for businesses of all 

sizes on both a national and local level. 

“Local companies recognize the need for graduates 

with these skills,” said Phyllis Carito, vice president 

and dean of academic affairs. “We’re excited to see 

our criminal justice and computer science curricula 

expand to address this area. 

“The investigative side of computer-related 

crime, known as computer forensics, is an attendant 

part of the growing computer-security field.” 

“Computer forensics is one of the fastest growing 

fields within information technology,” said William 

DeLuca, criminal justice instructor, “and there is a 

shortage of qualified, competent technicians.” 

There is also a great need in local, state and federal 

law enforcement for investigators with computer-related 

skills, he pointed out. DeLuca also added 

that even private sector businesses have a need for 

employees with computer forensics skills. 

Computer forensics technicians need to understand 

the law, technology, and the investigative 

process. The CSF degree at Columbia-Greene 

combines the principles of computing, networking 

and investigative techniques that are essential in

Nursing Grads Outperform 

National Average on R.N. Exam 


nursing graduates from the class of 2006 outperformed 

their national and state colleagues on the 

national licensing exam for registered nurses, 

according to college officials. 

Last semester, 92 percent of C-GCC’s nursing 

grads who sat for the national licensing exam 

passed, according to a recent report from the state 

Education Department. The passing average was 

88.7 percent nationally and 86.7 percent statewide. 

“Consistently, we have been above the state and 

national averages,” said Dawn Wrigley, chairperson 

of the nursing department, “and with the incorporation 

of our new Assessment Technologies Institute 

program we hope to see a 100 percent passing rate.” 

The ATI company provides an innovative program 

that helps students track their progress 

through the course of the nursing program. The 

ATI program points out weaknesses for review 

along the way, including practice tests, and even 

monitors when students are ready to take the 

national licensing exam. 

“We started the ATI program for the first time 

this semester,” said Wrigley, “and the students 

absolutely love it.” 

In all, a total of 49 graduates from the 2006 class

Celebration 

of 53 took the National Council Licensure 

Examination for Registered Nurses, with 45 passing. 

Wrigley also credits student-centered teaching and 

extensive clinical experience for the graduates’ consistently 

high performance rates on the national exam. 

C-GCC nursing students receive hands-on care 

in clinicals in such critical-care areas as intensive 

care. Consequently, graduates are able to obtain jobs 

in critical-care units upon graduation. 

Wrigley also said the college’s honors program 

enables students to work extra hours in clinical areas 

of special interest. In addition, she pointed to scholarships 

provided by the Columbia-Greene 

Community Foundation that make it possible for 

nursing students to work fewer hours and thereby 

spend more time on their studies. 

According to a recent C-GCC survey, 100 percent 

of the nursing graduates from the C-GCC 

class of 2004 who were pursuing employment found 

positions as registered nurses, with an average starting 

salary of $22 an hour.

Massage Grads Excel on State Licensing Exam 

Columbia-Greene Community College has 

announced an 88.9 percent passing rate on the 

state massage-therapy licensing examination for 

recent graduates of its massage-therapy program. 

Eight of the nine C-GCC massage-therapy graduates 

who sat for the August 2005 exam passed, far 

exceeding the passing average of 71.4 percent for all 

state residents who took the exam. 

All test takers from Columbia-Greene were 

members of the class of 2006, which included 12 

graduates in all. Three of the 2006 graduates elected 

to take the national licensing exam instead, to 

accommodate their plans to work out-of-state. 

“As a program,” said Coordinator of Massage 

Therapy Matthew Kenny, “we celebrate not only 

our graduate passing rate with the New York State 

licensing examination but the quality of work provided 

by our graduates. 

“Their ability to provide Swedish and shiatsu massage 

has prepared them for the diverse opportunities

of their chosen profession. As they find employment 

in areas such as spas, hospitals, sports facilities, hospice, 

or in private practice, they continue to represent 

excellence in the profession, and their training here 

at Columbia-Greene Community College.” 

The massage-therapy program at Columbia- 

Greene has seen 122 graduates since it began in the 

fall of 1999. 

In the 67-credit Associate in Applied Science 

degree program, students learn the fundamentals of 

both Western and Eastern massage techniques 

while gaining hands-on experience. Advanced studies 

focus on work with specific health problems, 

including sports injuries, hypertension, soft-tissue 

injuries, sprains, muscle tears, tendonitis, carpal tunnel 

syndrome and fibromyalgia.

C-GCC Business 

Department Offers 

New Classes for Spring 

The business department at Columbia- 

Greene Community College will offer two new 

courses in the spring semester. 

The course, Management will focus on such primary 

management functions as planning, organizing, 

leading and controlling. The class will be taught 

by department Chairman Keith Beebe. 

“The class also looks at the newer trends in management 

and will cover a significant amount of case 

study work,” Beebe said. 

Also new this spring is Advanced Medical Billing. 

The course is appropriate for students who have 

taken the course, Medical Billing, and who wish to 

further their knowledge and skill level. 

The business department also offers a Medical 

Office Assistant program, which also includes such 

courses as Medical Terminology, Medical Office 

Procedures and Medical Transcription. The 25credit 

program prepares students for entry into the 

growing medical office field. 

In addition, the business department has scheduled 

Business Communications in a 4:30 to 5:50 

p.m. time slot on Mondays and Wednesdays this 

spring. The strategy leaves room for a student to fit 

an additional course in the 6 to 8:50 p.m. time slot 

on each of those nights. 

“The beauty of this strategy,” said Beebe, “is that 

a student can earn nine credit hours in just two 

nights a week.” 

Also notable under business, according to Beebe, 

are Small Business Management, Text Formatting 

and Production, and Administrative Office 

Management. 

“The text formatting course,” he said, “is very useful 

for anyone who wants to learn and apply 

advanced techniques for producing just about any 

type of document in a professional business stetting 

or for one’s own private use.” 

A number of business courses will also be available 

online this spring. They include: Business 

Ethics, Quickbooks, Foundations of Buiness and 

both Micro and Macro Economics. 

In addition, the classroom courses Accounting, 

Business Law I and II, Medical Transcription, and 

Marketing will also be offered. 

The spring semester begins Jan. 16. A complete, 

searchable schedule is available online at 

www.mycommunity.com. 

Register weekdays, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., or 

during Open Registration Day, Jan. 11, from 9:30 

a.m. to 6:30 p.m. (the college will be closed from 

Dec. 25 through Jan. 1). For more information, call

Saland Support Continues for Training at C-GCC 

One of Columbia-Greene Community 

College’s main training programs will receive 

an allocation of $109,100 from the state’s 2006-07 

budget through the efforts of state Sen. Stephen M. 

Saland, R-Poughkeepsie, college officials 

announced recently. 

With the latest installment of state support, total 

funding for the Saland Employee Educational 

Development Program has reached $1,109,100 since 

its inception in 1994. The SEED program, administered 

by C-GCC, provides skills training to Columbia 

County manufacturers and associated businesses. 

“The senator’s long-term support of workforce 

training has been a driving force for our local economy,” 

said college President James Campion. “His 

leadership in workforce development has been 

unparalleled, and he has put the college at the forefront 

of that effort.” 

To date, more than 3,400 employees have been 

trained in some 75 classes. Training has ranged from 

computer literacy and specialized software applications 

to industrial hydraulics and molding-machine 

operations. 

“In Columbia County today, and indeed, 

throughout New York State, the ability of local 

businesses to remain viable and productive, is dramatically 

improved when they have access to a 

workforce that has the necessary skills needed to 

compete in the 21st century marketplace,” said Sen. 

College Offers Online 

Classes for Spring 


will offer a host of online courses this spring 

that expand student options.

sacrifice content. According to faculty, the online 

experience can enhance a student’s learning process.

Western Civilization 1700-Present. 

Also, the psychology department offers General

Personality. Introduction to Sociology is available

A unique hybrid program rounds out the available 

online courses for spring. 

The economics and education departments offer 

courses comprised of a combination of online and 

classroom work. The courses are Macroeconomics, 

Saland. “Since I first assisted the SEED program in 

1994, this program has consistently delivered critical 

job training programs for businesses and their 

employees in the Hudson Valley, with more than 

3,000 workers having benefited from the training it 

provides. I am pleased to have secured this funding 

for Columbia-Greene Community College’s SEED 

program and look forward to its continued success.” 

Participating companies have included Hudson- 

Catskill Newspapers, Kaz, Craftech Industries, Saturn 

Industries, Gingsberg’s, L&B Contract Industries,

services at C-GCC. “And training is varied and flexible, 

which enables companies to focus on their 

most pressing needs in an efficient manner.”

C-GCC Featured on 

Covers of College Trades 

Columbia-Greene Community College — 

fresh from the success of its recent branding 

program — is featured in two cover stories in college 

trade publications this fall. 

A cover story appears in the October issue of 

Admissions Marketing Report, a leading journal of 

college marketing. The article begins with the 

college’s novel use of its new Web address — 

www. mycommunitycollege.com — and reports on 

the schools branding initiative in detail. 

In addition, the cover of the October edition of 

Counsel, the journal of the National Council for 

Marketing and Public Relations, features a story on the 

college’s branding program written by Allen Kovler, 

director of public relations at C-GCC. He discusses the 

initiative in depth, from concept to implementation. 

The C-GCC branding program, which bears the 

slogan “A Tradition of Teaching Excellence,” originally 

consisted of a redesigned logo, publications, 

and advertising as well as a public relations campaign. 

Launched in 2004, C-GCC’s branding program 

received 25 awards, including four golds from 

NCMPR, an affiliate of the American Association 

of Community Colleges, and three golds from 

Admissions Marketing Report. 

Most of the pieces in the college’s branding program 

were designed by Dave Homsey, creative 

director at Zone 5, Albany. ■

Mark Decker, the new baseball coach at Columbia- 

Greene Community College. 

Decker Named 

Baseball Coach 

at C-GCC 

Mark Decker, a former high school baseball 

coach and an assistant director of the 

Workforce Investment Office at Columbia-Greene 

Community College, has been named head baseball 

coach at Columbia-Greene Community College. 

“Mark’s coaching and work experience makes him 

the perfect choice for the job,” said Athletic 

Director Roy Brown, who was serving as interim 

baseball coach, while the department conducted its 

search. “He knows how to work with youngsters 

both on and off the field, keeping them focused on 

good practices both athletically and academically.” 

“I’ve been influenced athletically by my Dad,” said 

Decker. “He taught me that to do well I would need to 

work hard every day. I’m going to bring that same 

approach to the baseball program at Columbia-Greene. 

“We’ll face many good teams. I simply don’t want 

there to be harder working teams. I want my ballplayers 

to commit to a program that will allow them to 

succeed in the classroom and on the ball field.” 

Decker coached little league baseball at 

Ockawamick, from 1999 to 2004, for which he also 

served as vice president, from 2003 to 2005. He was 

also assistant baseball coach at Taconic High 

School, from 1988 to 1989. 

In addition he coached for the Taconic Hills 

County Youth Organization Basketball League, 

from 1998 to 2003. 

Decker also has 20 years of playing experience in 

baseball. He tossed three no-hitters for Ockawamick 

Little League and four no-hitters for Babe Ruth. 

A 1984 graduate of Taconic Hills High School, 

he was an M.V.P. his fourth year on the team and 

struck out 22 batters in one game, a state record. He 

also played basketball four years for the school. 

He played baseball for C-GCC for two years, 

from 1985 to 1987. 

As assistant director for the WIO since 2001, 

Decker has been responsible for supervising federally-funded 

programs to support employment and educational 

opportunities in both Columbia and Greene 

counties. In his role, he has supervised a staff of 12, 

planning youth employment and training programs. 

Earlier in his career, Decker was a liaison for 

Columbia County Family Court. He implemented 

court-ordered services to juvenile delinquents and 

Persons in Need of Supervision and counseled juvenile 

offenders. 

He earned an A.A.S. from C-GCC in 1987 and a 

B.A. from the State University of New York at 

Plattsburgh in 1990, both in criminal justice. 

He is a former member of the Claverack Town 

Park Commission. 

He resides in Philmont with his wife, Lori and 

their two children. ■

C-GCC’s Tretheway Earns Chancellor’s Award 

Catherine M. Tretheway, director of the 

Office of Special Services at Columbia-Greene 

Community College, recently earned a State 

University of New York Chancellor’s Award for 

Excellence in Professional Service. 

She joins the ranks of C-GCC teachers, librarians 

and professional staff cited for such outstanding 

performance in the past. She received an inscribed 

certificate and a bronze medallion. 

“The criteria for selection are exacting, and they 

ensure that only those University professional service 

staff who have consistently demonstrated 

superlative performance within and beyond their 

position receive the award,” said SUNY Chancellor 

John R. Ryan. “Your skill and leadership, your 

extensive service to the campus and to the 

University, combined with your continued professional 

achievements, are reflected in your selection 

for this honor.” 

Tretheway, who joined Columbia-Greene in 

2000, was initially the OSS coordinator, responsible 

for ensuring that students with disabilities had equal 

access to all college programs and activities. Later, 

she was promoted to director of OSS. She also currently 

serves as an adjunct faculty member and has 

taught both Business Law and Aviation Law. 

Support services, advocacy and education are 

Tretheway’s primary concerns. She has secured cutting-edge 

technologies for the campus, obtained 

grants to fund purchases, collaborated with agencies 

such as VESID for program support, lobbied for 

laws supporting electronic textbook publishing initiatives 

and created a detailed manual for presentation 

to the college community and the board of 

trustees. 

Catherine M. Tretheway, director of the Office of Special 

Services at C-GCC, recent recipient of a State University

Alumni association can provide strong support 

The Columbia-Greene Community College 

Alumni Association will take more of a leadership 

role on campus and in the community. 

This is a significant development for a college 

that is expanding its influence beyond the borders of 

its sponsor counties. 

C-GCC Development and Community Affairs 

Director Joan Koweek told the college board of 

trustees Monday about the association’s plans to get 

involved in the on-campus life of current students. 

Koweek is also the executive director of the 

Columbia-Greene Community Foundation, which 

leads the way in the college’s philanthropic endeavors. 

College President James R. Campion said 

Koweek’s plan has gained the approval of the alumni 

association’s board of directors. Koweek said the 

state is requiring all 64 public universities, colleges 

and community colleges in New York to raise $3 

billion from private sources by 2012. 

C-GCC this year met its $1.5 million goal. The 

C-GCC foundation led all four community colleges 

in the greater Capital Region in fundraising in 2005. 

Koweek said most of the funds will be dedicated 

to scholarships at a time when going to college is 

out of reach for many because of escalating costs. 

Koweek pointed out that for the children of single 

parents in the Twin County region and prospective 

student-athletes new to the area, the cost of higher 

education, even for a community college, is becoming 

prohibitive. 

The scholarships would be distributed for a variety 

of awards ranging from community service to 

triumphing over adversity. 

Columbia-Greene Community College’s alumni, 

now a remarkable 8,000 strong, would be a force to 

be reckoned with under Koweek’s plan, on a par 

with alumni associations at larger four-year colleges. 

The plan would broaden the scope of what the 

alumni can do at a time when more and more graduates 

are reaching out to the community and asking 

for help for current and future students. 

It’s difficult to raise funds in a small community 

like this one, but a strong alumni association can be 

extremely persuasive, a lifeline between college and 

community. After all, today’s students are tomorrow’s 

alumni. ■

Workshop to Focus 

on the Adult Learner 


will offer a free two-session workshop for 

adults thinking of returning to the classroom. 

The idea of returning to school can be daunting to 

adults. Consequently, the workshop provides information 

on such college basics as traditional and 

non-traditional learning, the application process 

and financial aid as well as how to succeed in college 

as an adult student. 

The workshop will run for two consecutive 

Thursdays starting Feb. 1, from 6 to 8 p.m. The 

sessions will also feature current C-GCC adult students 

who will talk about the admissions process 

and their college experiences. 

Prospective students may sign-up for a college 

placement test on the last evening of the workshop. 

Test takers will receive a private consultation with 

an admissions counselor. 

Register for the free workshop at the Greenport 

campus or by calling (518) 828-4181, extension

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statisics: 

“Employment of computer support specialists is 

expected to increase faster than the average for all 

occupations through 2014, as organizations continue 

to adopt increasingly sophisticated technology 

and integrate it into their systems. Job growth will 

continue to be driven by the ongoing expansion of 

the computer system design and related services 

industry, which is projected to remain one of the 

fastest-growing industries in the U.S. economy.” 

“With our program,” said Carito, “students have 

the choice to gear their training more toward public 

security or network security, depending upon what 

career track they want to take. They can explore that 

with their academic advisor along the way.”

Guy Davis to Appear 


Manse Lipscomb, Mississippi John Hurt, Elizabeth 

Cotton, and Buddy Guy, among others. It was 

through Taj Mahal, says Davis, that “he found his 

way to the old time blues.” 

Meanwhile, his writing and storytelling have been 

influenced by Zora Neale Hurston, Garrison 

Keillor, and his late grandmother Laura Davis, who 

lived to the age of 105. 

Raised in the New York City area, he grew up 

hearing accounts of life in the rural south from his 

parents and grandparents, and they made their way 

into his own stories and songs. Never having the 

patience to take formal lessons, Davis taught himself 

the guitar, and learned by listening to and 

watching other musicians. One night on a train 

from Boston to New York he learned finger picking 

from a nine-fingered guitar player. 

Throughout his life, Davis has had overlapping 

interests in music and acting. Early acting roles 

included a lead in the film “Beat Street” opposite 

Rae Dawn Chong and a part on television as Dr. 

Josh Hall on “One Life to Live.” 

Eventually, Davis had the opportunity to combine 

music and acting on the stage. He made his 

Broadway musical debut in 1991 in the Zora Neale 

Hurston/Langston Hughes collaboration 

“Mulebone” which featured the music of Taj Mahal. 

In 1993, he performed Off-Broadway as blues 

legend Robert Johnson in “Robert Johnson: Trick 

the Devil.” He received rave reviews and became the 

1993 winner of the Blues Foundation’s “Keeping the 

Blues Alive Award,” which was presented to him by 

Robert Cray at the W.C. Handy Awards ceremony. 

He went on to write “In Bed with the Blues: The 

Adventures of Fishy Waters,” 

an engaging and moving 

one-man show. The Off- 

Broadway debut in 1994 

received critical praise from 

The New York Times and 

The Village Voice. 

Davis also arranged, performed 

and co-wrote the 

music for an Emmy award 

winning film, “To Be a Man.” 

In 1995, his music was used 

in the national PBS series, 

“The American Promise.” 

Davis also performed in a 

theater piece with his parents, 

actors/writers Ruby Dee and 

the late Ossie Davis, entitled 

“Two Hah Hahs and a 

Homeboy,” staged at the 

Crossroads Theatre in New 

Brunswick, N.J., in 1995. The 

show combined material 

written by Davis and his parents, with music, 

African American Folklore and history as well as 

performance pieces by Hurston and Hughes. 

Of Davis’ performance, a reviewer in U.S.A. 

Today observed that his style and writing “sounds so 

deeply drenched in lost black traditions that you feel 

that they must predate him. But no, they don’t. He 

created them.” 

For the past decade, Davis has concentrated much 

of his efforts on writing, recording, and performing 

music. In 1995, he released his Red House records 

debut “Stomp Down Rider,” an album that captured 

him in a stunning live performance. The album 

landed on top lists all over the country, including the 

Boston Globe and Pulse magazine. 

Twin County Science Expo 


outstanding student scientists the opportunity to 

enter a contest in which they are judged by a panel 

of experts. Traditionally, the displays of students are 

among the top entries and prize – winning exhibits 

from local science fairs held at schools within these 

two counties. Open to students in grades five 

through eight, prizes for first, second, and third 

places are awarded, as well as a grand prize made 

possible through generous donations from area 

businesses. 

Davis’ next album, “Call Down the Thunder,” 

paid tribute to the blues masters, but leaned more 

heavily towards his own powerful originals. The 

electrifying album solidified Davis’ position as one 

of the most important blues artists of the time. 

It too was named a top ten album of the year in 

the Boston Globe and Pulse, and Acoustic Guitar 

magazine called it one of the “thirty essential CDs 

from a new generation of performers.” 

Davis’ third Red House disc, “You Don’t Know My 

Mind,” explodes with passion and rhythm and displays 

Davis’ breadth as a composer and powerhouse 

performer. It was chosen as “Blues Album of the 

Year” by the Association For Independent Music, and 

the San Francisco Chronicle gave the it four stars. 

Writing in Playboy Magazine, Charles M. Young 

summed up Davis’ take on the blues best: “Davis 

reminds you that the blues started as dance music. 

This is blues made for humming along, stomping 

your foot, feeling righteous in the face of oppression 

and expressing gratitude to your baby for greasing 

your skillet.” 

Davis’ fourth album, “Butt Naked Free,” and all 

his records since have been produced by John 

Platania, former guitarist for Van Morrison. In 

addition to Platania on electric guitar, the disc 

includes the musicians Levon Helm (The Band), 

multi-instrumentalist Tommy “T-Bone” Wolk (Hall 

& Oates, Carly Simon, ‘Saturday Night Live’ 

Band), drummer Gary Burke ( Joe Jackson), and 

acoustic bassist Mark Murphy (Walt Michael & 

Co., Vanaver Caravan). 

Of the fifth album ,“give in kind,” music critic 

Dave Marsh wrote, “Davis never loses sight of the 

blues as good time music, the original forum for 

dancing on top of one’s sorrows. Joy made more 

exquisite, of course, by the sorrow from which it 

springs.” 

“Chocolate to the Bone,” 

Davis’ sixth album followed 

with more accolades and 

acclaim, including a W.C. 

Handy award nomination for 

“Best Acoustic Blues 

Album.” In fact, he has been 

nominated for nine Handy 

Awards over the years. 

His latest album, “Legacy” 

was picked as one of the Best 

CDs of the Year by National 

Public Radio, and the lead 

track, “Uncle Tom’s Dead,” 

was chosen as one of the Best 

Songs of the Year. 

Davis has also done residency 

programs for the 

Lincoln Center Institute, the 

Kennedy Center, and the 

State Theatre in New Jersey. 

Most recently, he was an 

honored guest at the 

Kennedy Center Awards in which his parents, 

Warren Beatty, Elton John, Joan Sutherland, and 

John Williams received medals from President 

George Bush. 

All tickets for the Davis Concert are $15, and are

Retirement planning has become very complicated. 

Where will funds for retirement come from? How

why we need to take a more active role in saving for 

retirement by placing more of an emphasis on our 

savings and investments.

FI 24231-1A Long-Term Care Insurance Education - 

Understanding Your Options 

This course provides participants with the information 

and tools to make informed decisions regarding 

long-term care insurance. Over 40% of persons 

reaching age 65 can expect to spend some time in a 

nursing home during their lifetime. Nursing home 

care and care in your home can be very expensive. 

How can you prepare for the cost of long-term care? 

Many people purchase long-term care insurance to 

offset the high cost of their long-term care, maintain 

their independence and have more flexibility in 

choosing the type and location of the care they 

receive. Premium costs are lower when you apply 

younger and planning ahead can, not only help you 

save money, but secure your choices and peace of 

mind. 

This class will help you identify what your risk of 

needing long-term care is, what your long-term care 

options are, and how to determine if long-term care 

insurance is right for you. 

This class is available through the collaboration of 

the Healthcare Consortium and the Columbia 

County Office for the Aging. Participants must preregister 

by calling (518) 822-8820. New York State 

does not endorse or recommend any specific insurance 

product or insurer; this program is solely

SI 99254-1A Develop Your Intuitive Skills 

Intuition is like a muscle. It needs exercise to become 

strong, flexible and reliable. In this class the instructor 

will help you learn how to get in touch with your 

intuition and guide you along the path to developing 

it. Intuition is an important resource in your business 

and personal life. We will do a guided imagery exerciser 

for you to “meet” your intuition. By the end of 

the evening you will be doing intuitive readings for 

each other! Bring a notebook and an open mind. 

Instructor: Prudence J. M. Theriault 



Fee: $20.00 

SI 99257 An Internet Career Planning Guide 

for Parents and Their Teenagers 

There are many free resources on the Internet to help 

youth and their parents plan for a happy and satisfying 

career. This hands-on workshop will give you the 

opportunity to explore on-line programs that can 

help high school students evaluate their interests and 

abilities and then provide in-depth information 

about occupations that are a good match. Students 

will find information about educational requirements, 

income and benefits, long-term career paths 

and the affects of different jobs on personal lifestyle. 

There are also career sites that provide information 

about the availability of different jobs locally, 

statewide, and nationally, as well as information on 

apprenticeship programs, trade schools and colleges. 

This workshop is appropriate for students considering 

college and also for those who are not. BOTH 

STUDENT AND PARENT/GUARDIAN 

MUST REGISTER.
