The Ohio Career Association provides activities designed to recognize and develop leadership abilities. This is achieved through the election of officers, by attending leadership training conference workshops, and through meetings with local professional leaders.

Ohio Career Association members prepare for a career by being oriented to career possibilities. This is achieved through workshops, job fairs, tours, guest speakers, travel, panel presentations, the annual career development conference, career counseling & informational activities. Students will develop motivation, attitude & the necessary employability skills, that are reinforced through a program of competitive events, and needed to pursue a career.

The Ohio Career Association maintains a program of social activities to provide an outlet for student enthusiasm, motivation, and membership interaction. Members gain knowledge of social graces, poise, and professional etiquette through recreational activities, image building projects, field trips, workshop presentations, & participation in school and community social/recreational programs.

Through involvement in community service projects, members are provided opportunities to develop their helping skills. Helping others is a confidence builder for many students, which can be transferred to the workplace where employees help customers and other employees. Helping others is sometimes the first step for people to begin helping themselves.

Ohio Career Association members recognize their civic obligations to the community by working with the community or local, state and federal government awareness program, visits to government offices, community projects, and through civic appearances in promoting the Ohio Career Association as well as working closely with community organizations.

It’s June 1st and the beautifully orchestrated graduation ceremony is just a memory. The last day for teachers has come and gone. Time to exhale, and soak up the summer sun, right? Not if you’re a JCG Career Specialist. The summer is an opportunity for the specialist to ensure the career plans of the student are met, and now, there’s plenty of time to spend one-on-one quality time with our students.

The month of May is a mad scramble to ensure the JAG national data system is fully updated with accurate data regarding the outcomes of both current year students/graduates, and measurement of the placement goals for the previous year’s graduating class. The expected outcomes, as they exist, are listed on page 3 of this newsletter.

June is the time when good JCG Career Specialists become better JCG Career Specialists. We spend the predominance of the month in training, learning how to better serve our students. July is the month when representatives from JAG affiliates, near and far, congregate & share best practices at the JAG at the National Training Seminar for professional development.

In August, busy specialists are preparing & planning for that ever-so-important 1st day of school. All of these things are done in concert with continued student interaction, growth & service to influence a positive future outcome.

Pictured are JCG students on a field trip to the Cincinnati Underground Freedom Museum on May 14, 2010. A grant was obtained to pay student admission & transportation. Our tour was the Resistance: Un-freedoms, Past & Present. It incorporates World History, Geography, & American History to tell the story of global slavery.

In May, Keisha Brown and Shannon Wade completed a job shadow experience at The Bethany School in Glendale. Both Shannon and Keisha felt it was a great learning

opportunity, but more importantly they left a fabulous impression about the type of students that attend Mt. Healthy High School. Here’s what 1

st grade teacher, Kelly Tedesco had to say about

our students: “I'm so pleased that Keisha and Shannon had a positive experience. It was wonderful

having them in the classroom and the kids didn't want them to leave! I was really impressed with

the enthusiasm and professionalism your students demonstrated. I gave both girls my business

card and asked them to keep in touch if they need resources or classroom experience during their

college career!” Well Ms. Tedesco, the word from Shannon and Keisha is that "YOU ROCK!" Of course, this opportunity would not have been possible had it not been for her generous spirit of mentorship, and a true love for teaching and learning that is evident in Bethany’s Head of School,

Cheryl Pez! BETHANY SCHOOL … WE CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH

Our JCG program has teamed-up with UGIVE to create more service learning opportunities for our student, and to give them national recognition for the service learning/community service hours they have completed during high school. Furthermore, UGIVE’s portal will follow them through college, not only tracking hours, but creating a service learning resume

UGIVE.ORG is a non-profit organization on a mission to catalyze, excite and empower the next generation of volunteers. They make philanthropy relevant to students, guiding them to give their time and talents to build communities. Their goal is to create LIFE-LONG GIVERS!

Freshmen Cailyn Lawrence and Tieaara Scriber won a UGIVE scholarship to participate in the UGIVE Summer Leadership Institute. Finally, We entered the UGIVE March-to-a-Million video contest. We might win an Apple IPad for the school. We needed to show what our school does to give back to the community by making a YouTube video about how we will join the march. Want more information … go to www.marchtoamillion.org for details! To see the video we created, please visit the JCG at Mt. Healthy High School Website
