Every good cause should have a positive impact on the community in some way and form. The Young Engineers Program gives students a chance to hold on their dreams and find a job which will allow them to grow in a field they love. With a program such as this one it reaches to all kinds of students who may feel they would never get their dream job.
There are opportunities for high school teacher, guidance counselors and principals to nominate some of their brightest students in this program and attend the intro seminar. This event will be an eye opener for people in the community to see the importance of being a mentor to students who wants to go in their career field. As we get the media to cover this event, more residents would want to see what this event is all about.
The FAMU/FSU College of Engineering would like to lead students to a career path to success and would like to do this as early as their freshmen year. The strategy of this tactic is to get students to reach out to the bigger companies.
For Gregory and Harrison to take on this event was an opportunity to help one organization to reach out to the smart and brilliant students from all over and help them but their foot in the door of college life. Grooming students could always keep them in school and keep them on the right track.
Once students attend the seminar, they will get a first look at the different areas in engineering. Students will see what they can expect in the next four years and what they would need to have to apply for a job for that employer who will take them under their wings.
I like the concept. The programs seems to fill a void that many students may have. I hope this program succeeds.
ReplyDeleteMany students have no clue about what they actually want to do even once they found a major that they like. I hope to continue reading great information about this program and the advancement of the students.
