Now that Liz Lieberman and Dave Walker have started the Grady Talks Classes at Grady High, I thought it would be great to see some of the greatest moments from last year’s Grady Talks. Here is Chris Webber talking about your career dreams and how to make them a reality.Aug 312011
Today, Liz Lieberman and Dave Walker worked with 14 Grady High students. This small group was hand-picked by one of the Grady academy heads. Liz and Dave are providing career counseling with these kids on a monthly basis.
In September, we’ll begin the program of bringing in a total of 18 business leaders. Liz and these speakers will present to two Grady classes and try to connect high school education with getting a meaningful and prosperous career.
Also this year, Liz will hold monthly “Lunch and Learn” sessions at the school’s career center.
Planning your career? Here is a great resource that we found which lays out 26 career pathways into 6 focus Areas:
- Applied Arts and Communications
- Business & Management
- Health Services
- Human Services
- Industrial & Engineering Systems
- Natural Resource Systems
Here is a quote from the new Atlanta Public School Superintendent, Erroll Davis:
“What we have found out is that while students drop out in high school, the decision to drop out is often made in middle school.“
