Today the School Counseling Office organized our annual Reality Store Event. Juniors and Seniors enrolled in Economics and Personal Finance participated in a simulation where they were assigned a career, income, and family situation. Students then had to pay taxes and purchase all of life's necessities on a monthly budget including groceries, making a car payment, buying or renting housing, paying for healthcare needs, arranging childcare costs (if needed), and so much more.
We are very grateful to the Virginia Tech Cooperative Extension office for organizing this simulation for our students! Are you interested in pursuing a career as a Power Line Worker? The Southside Virginia Community College program is a great way to learn how to install, remove, maintain and repair distribution lines and associated equipment. The 11 week program covers the fundamental aspects of power line work allowing students to enter a rewarding career with many opportunities. The Workforce Credential Grant (WCG) can help pay tuition and costs for qualifying VA residents. this is a great opportunity for students!
