School-to-Career

At Hope Street Academy, we are concerned not just with a student's performance in the classroom, but also with their success once they graduate and move into the "real world". The School-to-Career program helps students plan for their future by offering several services and programs:

JobFetcher by cjonline.com:

HSA has partnered with the Topeka Capital Journal and their website, cjonline.com, to offer online job searching and other employment services. JobFetcher is an employment search tool that allows students to search available positions and openings across the area and the nation. Also available is the "My Wizard" resume builder and other services such as interview tips, company profiles, and news and features from employment professionals.

Work Study Program:

This program enables students to earn elective credit while working. Students, along with their parent/guardian and work supervisor are required to sign an Out-of-School Employment Agreement.Students are responsible for submitting copies of their paycheck stubs and work schedules on a weekly basis. A site visit and quarterly evaluation are completed with the student's supervisor. Students earn 0.5 elective credit per semester for meeting these minimum requirements.

Career Focus Internships:

This program enables student exposure to careers of interest. In conjunction with Careers I (employability skills class), students may spend class time with employers in the community. Goals, attendance tracking, work schedules, on-site visits, and evaluations are completed during the student's placement. Students must be enrolled in Careers I and provide their own transportation during placement.

Job Opportunities Board:

This bulletin board was developed to assist students in locating job opportunities in the community. Information is updated a minimum of twice weekly and offers different tips and suggestions in obtaining employment. Mr. Wiley is available to help students develop resumes when needed.
