Beginning this year the Hamilton School will join twenty-three other schools in the Public School’s Career Education Program. The goals of the program are:
1. To develop in students positive attitudes toward self, others, school, and work.
2. To create an awareness of career possibilities.
3. To prepare students for a successful, satisfying, and meaningful career that is related to the needs of society.
4. To create more relevance in education by integrating the world of work in the curriculum.
5. To capitalize—and to integrate—the students’ experience of family, school, and occupational community.
In service training for the school staff, two building facilities and the school administrator have been given so that the school personnel will be apprised of the best possible ways to infuse Career Education into the existing curriculum.
It is hoped that as the program unfolds, we may call upon our own community persons to serve as representatives from the many facets of the world of work and employment.
