Freshman Career Jumping Day at GHS Helps Put Focus on College/Career Readiness

Grandview High School students had the chance to hear from professionals from 40 different businesses and organizations with backgrounds in a variety of fields.  The event is sponsored by PREP-KC. 

Research shows that students who participate in career exploration programs are more engaged in school, have higher graduation rates, and are more likely to pursue postsecondary education.

During the 2015-16 school year, PREP-KC supported college & career-readiness experiences for 7,154 students across the metro area, in partnership with 836 professionals from 224 business and postsecondary institutions.
