BENTON – Operation Preparation is a joint effort of the Kentucky Department of Education and the Department of Workforce Development and provides a powerful opportunity for schools, students, parents and communities to collaborate in the process of effective advising and focus attention on the importance of planning for college and/or career.
During March 2015, volunteer community advisors meet with every 8th- and 10th-grade student to talk about careers.
The community advisor will talk with the students about:
* career aspirations, required education/training and workforce skills
* whether the student is on target to meet their goals
* whether the student is taking the courses to prepare them for a successful future
The meeting is designed to provide both information and inspiration for the student to achieve college/career-readiness. This Information is provided by the KDE website.
