Stories from the Epicenter, BB2C’s Central Hub
For Vinton County High seniors, this wasn't your run-of-the-mill interview prep. According to one student, "It helped me get ready for real-life interviews." The program isn't just about questions; it's a preparation for the unglamorous reality of the professional world.
WHAT, WHY, and HOW are important questions not only for BB2C’s staff, but also our board members. Staff members Emily Bentley and Jenna Stewart designed a new activity to engage our stakeholders in reflecting on their connection with and vision for BB2C’s missing using a fun, unique shape.
Success skills don’t just help you in your career, they also help prepare you to choose your career. Middle school career mentoring helps students succeed. A highlight of the program is the annual field trip to Marietta College for the students and their mentors.
"I'm so excited to give our students the chance to do something student-led," expressed [a] participant. "I'm learning that our students don't get many opportunities to be pushed like this, so I think they're going to be excited for the freedom and change of pace!"
