As we approach the end of 2017, I would like to extend heartfelt wishes, on behalf of the Career Center community, for a happy and healthy holiday season to all families, friends, and community members. We are proud of our students and grateful for the integral support you provide to encourage interest in career and technical education. During this festive time, we are grateful for your commitment to and interest in our programs. In the new year, we pledge to continue our mission, providing experiences that develop the knowledge and skills students need to continue learning and enter the workforce. The stage for success is set by the way we approach beginnings. Join us in making the new year an important first step towards future successes. Show your support and commitment towards the work we do at the Career Center by sharing positive experiences you have had and encouraging others to visit and explore our programs. Consult the flyer in this issue for spring offerings and mark your calendar for our February 15th Open House. Our greatest gift would be that every student has the opportunity to find success here at the Career Center. Season's Greetings!

Human Services is comprised of two separate half-day classes. Our morning Fundamentals course focuses on early childhood education and related fields. Our afternoon Foundations course prepares students for further education and various human services career paths. Fundamentals students recently interviewed for their Work Site Placement (WSP) before a panel of early childhood professionals. Becky Bertrand, coordinator of the Learning Together Program at the Addison County Parent Child Center (ACPCC) followed up with personal letters to students to make the experience authentic. Both classes have since begun their WSPs. This critical component lets students apply knowledge and skills in real-life settings. The ACPCC and PlayLab, and Otter Creek Child Center currently host students in infant, toddler and preschool classrooms. Community partners visit, too. ACPCC early childhood professional Sara Chicoine recently presented on the the infancy year, which helped students understand the importance of social-emotional and brain development during the first year. “The idea of being able to get my feet wet in child care was appealing,” says HCC Human Services student Jamee Barnum. “Also, being able to walk away with industry-recognized credentials that I can use to get a job in the childcare field is really helpful.”

Each quarter, HCC instructors select one student as their program's Outstanding Student. These students and their guests attend an awards breakfast in the Glass Onion to be honored for their work ethic, creativity, approach to problem-solving, effort and attitude, collaboration, and other aspects of academics and our center-wide Habits of Work. On November 15th and 16th, we held breakfasts to honor the 22 students nominated for the first quarter of the 2017-2018 school year. The photos on these two pages are also be posted on the Wall of Fame at each campus.
