The "Hawk for a Day" program, hosted at Southeastern Regional, provided junior students from Oliver Ames High School, a comprehensive sending school within our district, with a hands-on opportunity to explore dual enrollment and post-graduation options in the particular trades of interest to them. This interactive career exploration paired the students with mentors from Southeastern (SET) in their chosen vocational fields. We will cover the detailed and structured approach taken during the shadowing experience, highlighting how this collaborative model prepares students for real-world career opportunities. Participants will leave the session with practical strategies and tools to develop similar programs in their own schools, strengthening the connection between comprehensive and CTE education.
