This year WCESC and Sinclair Mason collaborated on a pilot project for very at-risk students. These students spent 24 Fridays at Sinclair’s Mason campus where they were immersed in Information Technology, Allied Health, Advanced Manufacturing, and Travel and Tourism. These are students who previously experienced poor school attendance and low achievement. The results are very encouraging! 100 students attended at least one Friday atb Sinclair; 70 students attended at least three Fridays; Six students became OSHA 10 certified; 42 students became CPR/First Aid certified; 26 students became Stop the Bleed certified; 27 students became Certified Tourism Ambassadors; 31 students earned the Ohio Means Jobs Readiness Seal; 6 students enrolled at Sinclair; And Thirty Three students earned the 12 graduation points for the Pre-Apprenticeship Industry Credential. Our pilot will be improved and expanded next school year. Any incoming seniors who may need the 12 points to graduate are invited to enroll at John Lazares Alternative School to earn the Pre-Apprenticeship Industry Credential as an alternative to end of course exams.

My life as a full-time student officially started more than a month ago, and I can say it has been really challenging. I have articles to read and online assignments to complete every week. Some assignments, such as this poster, took me two weeks to complete. Here, I want to share some lessons I've learned from my life here in Melbourne as a full-time master's student. Be wise about Assignment I had a rough transition from the role of assignment recipient to assignment doer. I finally realised that doing assignments is not easy! (I now understand you, my students). My tutor here provided me with crystal clear instructions, yet I was still struggling in the corner and asking myself: where should I start? Thanks to Monash Education for offering such significant and consistent help for new students. This reminds me to be wise: wise in completing assignments and wise in giving assignments (when I become the one giving them after I graduate). Learning from the Younger Generation I must admit that I am still quite young, but I feel outpaced in the academic world. Even after working for seven years before this, I still have a lot to learn. During my one-month learning journey, I discovered that learning from the younger generation is very rewarding. Their insights and pace make me wonder... why didn't I think about that? I enjoyed every discussion I had with them while completing my assignments. I consider myself lucky. For sure, I will continue learning from them. What's next? Well, I still have a long way to go. I can confidently say that I am enjoying my current learning journey so far.

In Australian higher education, orientation and transition programs play a vital role in helping new students acclimate to university life, fostering a sense of belonging, and providing essential information and support. Here's how ⬇️

Great to see the amazing achievements of the impressive young people that the Sutton Trust works with through this excellent new blog from James Yarde. Using data from HEAT we can see the deep impact that participating in The Sutton Trust programmes can have for participants. https://lnkd.in/edJBD6JF We know that the students we work with are already keen to go to university before starting their programme. Our programmes: 🔀 help young people make informed choices about their next steps, 🔑 support the development of necessary skills to get there and, 😃 give them the confidence boost they need to get started. This is borne out by the data that shows when controlling for attainement, background characterists and motivation, Sutton Trust students are 60% more likely to enrol at university and Sutton Trust Summer School students are 46% more likely to enrol at a research intensive university. This matters because many universities still have access gaps with students from underserved communities less likely to attend leading institutions. so If you know a young person in Y12 (England or Wales), Y13 (N. Ireland) or S5 (Scotland) who wants to explore their options and get support with applications please let them know that applications are currently open until 7 March for our Summer Schools (UK-wide) and Access Apprenticeships (London and Birmingham) programmes. https://lnkd.in/eBYvDV4U A huge thank you to James Yarde for the blog and all the number crunching with Harry Thomason as well as all of our excellent partners without whom these impactful programmes wouldn't be possible.
