  9. Important Dates • Tell your references that I would like the forms from them by March 1, 2013. • Submit your application by March 1, 2013. (The sooner you get it in to process, the more likely you will be placed if you meet all criteria. The sooner the better!) • Be sure to get Mrs. Ritchey’s signature on your course selection card by March 3, 2013

  10. Employability Certificate Addendum-Pg. 13 • If for some reason there are specific reasons or conditions that may have impacted your • attendance • discipline • or academic performance please use page 13 and attach it to your application.

  11. Denial Report-Pg. 15 • The office will run one report for all three areas of character, attendance and academic performance • Page 15 is an example of a report you will receive if you do not meet the internship criteria. • You do not need to do anything with this page except read it!

  12. What is a regional employability certificate? • A certificate that indicates that you are a dependable, responsible and trusted employee for any employer in the future. • It certifies that a student has met academic, attendance and character criteria. • Recognized by businesses throughout Dauphin, Cumberland, and Perry Counties. We are the second school in Dauphin County using this criteria to place interns/workers.

  13. What should You do? • Complete the application on page 7, get an idea of possible mentor? Talk to me if you need some ideas. • Take the recommendation forms to your teachers ASAP and request them to complete them for you. • Ask them to return them to me. YOU DO NOT RETURN THEM TO ME! THEY NEED TO BE RETURNED DIRECTLY TO ME by the teacher. • Return everything to Mrs. Ritchey by March 1, if you want to be assured that there will be a possible internship for you.

  14. Scheduling Procedures (NEW) • I must need to sign off on your scheduling card. • If it is determined that you do not meet the criteria due to attendance, discipline, grades, etc., you will be contacted by me/counselor • Counselor will contact you to add another course ASAP

  15. Students with a Support Teacher • If you are interested in an internship or work experience, you must complete a “Transition Experience Request” with your support teacher and turn it in to Mrs. Quinnan in room 231. • You will also need to apply for the “Regional Employability Certificate”.  • You should not request the internship during course selection.  The completion of these forms is your course request.  Electives should be chosen to fill your schedule (7 credits total), and the extra classes will be removed once an internship is set up.  • See your support teacher and Mrs. Quinnan in room 231 with any questions.
