Century students participated in the Construct Tomorrow event today to explore career opportunities within the union construction trades. This event provided insight into apprenticeship programs, career pathways, and the many benefits available in the skilled trades. Students also had the opportunity to engage in hands-on activities and interact directly with industry professionals to gain a deeper understanding of potential future careers. Experiences like these align with our ongoing commitment to providing students with meaningful, career-connected learning opportunities that prepare them for success beyond high school. Thanks to all the union trades that made this event possible! #CareerConnectedLearning #SkilledTrades #ConstructTomorrow #Apprenticeships #WorkBasedLearning #CareerReadiness #FutureReady

Need help understanding the financial aid options for college? Free college planning and financial aid events are available to Minnesota students and families via Zoom. The series, running on Tuesday evenings this fall, is intended for current high school students and will cover general information about the college application and financial aid process, details on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), the Minnesota Dream Act for undocumented students, and other ways to pay for college. All sessions will have interpretation in Spanish, Somali, and Hmong. Attendees can ask questions in the chat and have them answered by higher education experts during the event. Students who attend any of the sessions will be entered into a drawing to win a $1,000 scholarship (one entry per session attended). Space is limited, so register soon! These sessions are offered by the Minnesota Office of Higher Education, Minnesota Department of Education, ECMC The College Place and Minnesota Goes to College. For session dates, topics and to register: bit.ly/CollegePlanningSeries. Contact myang@ecmc.org with any questions.
