I developed and directed a high school construction program to create a pipeline of new talent for the construction industry. I worked closely with my instructors to ensure the program met Dept. of Ed standards, imparted NCCER construction knowledge and skills, as well as enabled students to practice workplace competencies. The program had a 98% daily attendance rate. 74% of all students obtained work in the industry. The other 26% received job offers that they did not accept. I know what it takes to engage young people and get them ready for careers. Other duties included marketing both the high school and the adult apprenticeship programs to both schools and contractors across Indiana and Kentucky. I thoroughly enjoyed helping students realize that there are many pathways to success, apprenticeship being one of them. To round out my job at ABC I also oversaw policy compliance to maintain our accreditation with NCCER - the entity governing the curriculum used to train apprentices.

I worked with Juniors & Seniors in High School that face many barriers: poverty, unemployed parents, uneducated parents, kids that have kids, kids that are on probation, kids that are below grade level....you get the picture. My goal was to teach them how to be successful in the real world. To give them the skills needed to graduate from high school, attend college if they desire, get a job that offers a chance for advancement, keep a job, know what to do with their money, how to balance a checkbook, live on a budget.....Sometimes it was exciting, sometimes it was overwhelming....always it was rewarding!
