Our High School students are career ready!
Retired businessman, Bob Jablonski, and Firewall’s Executive Director, Andy Fernandez, visited our 3 High School Centers and did a 2 week series where they shared tips on how to search for and secure a job. This series ended with students participating in mock interviews in front of their peers!
At Firewall, our focus is always on preparing our students for college and/or career, that’s why series like these are so important.
Kenny, who started Firewall in 6th grade and is now a Senior in High School, understands the importance of preparing for his future.
“Kenny came to the mock interview day dressed to impress and carried himself very well. He learned a lot about the skills needed to ace an interview. He plans to use these skills when applying for schools and future job opportunities,” said Tera, Firewall’s High School Program Director.
Thank you for your support that allows us to better prepare students like Kenny for life after graduation.
