Career Street

Who's on a career exploration role? General McLane SD, that's who! Last week, ten 8th grader's got to tour and learn about careers at Erie Insurance. Way to go! Glad we could facilitate this one for you too!

How about a beautiful, sunny 90* day in May cued up for a tour of the Erie International Airport and Fundamentals Flight Training? That's what these General McLane SD 7th graders were treated to today! We were happy to make the connections for them to learn about the various careers, as well as a little sampling of what it's like to be a pilot!

It was a nice sunny day for 9 of General McLane SD 6th grade to get out of school to tour Eriez! Another great career exploration experience!

This week 11 juniors and seniors in the welding program at Erie's Public Schools attended a tour of Wabtec Corporation designed specifically to connect with their training facilitated by Erie Together - Learn, Work, Thrive Career Street program!

Yesterday, Erie Together - Learn, Work, Thrive Career Street and Girard School District hosted our annual Job Fair for Seniors. Seniors from 8 different school districts met with more than 20 hiring employers to make connections to prepare to enter the workforce after graduation! Reported back from an attending guidance counselor, one student said, “I’m so glad I came to this!” Thank you to all the employers who attended and a special “shout out” to our sponsors Micro Mold & Plastikos UPMC Health Plan Eastern Atlantic States Regional Council of Carpenters

This was a great experience! So proud of General McLane SD’s Senior, Chloe, for the work & effort put forth! Thank you GECAC Greater Erie Community Action Committee for the opportunity!

We are grateful for the opportunity to host Chloe at GECAC’s Northwestern Senior Center for her work-based learning experience through the Multi-District Industry Club (MDIC).

MDIC is an Erie Together - Learn, Work, Thrive and Career Street initiative that connects senior high school students with local employers to expose them to different industries and occupations, as well as real-time job opportunities. This educational experience provides valuable exposure to career pathways and learning opportunities outside the traditional classroom.

We appreciate the collaboration that makes opportunities like this possible and are thankful to our partners for trusting us to be part of this important work. It was also wonderful to attend the certificate celebration and recognize Chloe’s accomplishment.

We look forward to continuing to work together to create meaningful opportunities in our community.
