A Head Start “Blue River gives me a head start on getting a job right after I graduate from high school because 1 have already received training for a job,” stated Jenny Rath-burn. Blue River is attended “When you go to get a job you need more than a high school diploma” by six schools in the area: Hauser, Morristown, New Palestine, Triton, Southwestern and Waldron. It has 15 different courses to offer, all of which require two years of classes. Each course earns a student six credits per year towards graduation. “Students who plan to attend Blue River Vocational School should be sure they want to pursue that field because each class period is three hours long, five days a week for two years. Once they start the program it takes up most of their high school time and does not fit well into other programs,” stated Mr. Jack Huff, guidance counselor. “Blue River can help you learn about the job you are going into and help you decide if that's really what you want to do.” “When you go to get a job you need more than just a high school diploma. Employers want extra training. That’s the main reason most of us attend Blue River,” stated Jane Baldwin. Joe Ortlieb and Jeff Dcaver take the exhaust system off of a car in auto maintenance.

They found information about the careers they picked by inter- viewing, reading newspapers, researching, or shadowing. Jenni Cooper picked hotel management because she thought it would be an interesting way to meet people. She found her information in encyclopedias and from the guidance office. This information was used to complete work sheets about how the job paid, the education that was needed, the work environment, and the necessary physical or mental skills. To close the unit, they had to do an oral report and tell the class what their jobs were about and what they had learned. “1 really liked it because it helped me decide on a career that 1 might be interested in, in the future,” stated Jenni.
