CT Marketing 11 and 12
Marketing 11 and 12
have been very busy this school year. All of our students are taking academic/business
classes in the Greenville Career Technology Center, while some also play high
school sports and hold down a marketing internship averaging 12-15 hours a
week.
Currently, 93% of our Marketing
students are employed by local businesses through out the Greenville community,
and in several instances, students are holding down two internship jobs at the
same time. We have students interning with
business partners such as Versailles Health Care Center, Brethren Retirement
Community, Scott D. Rudnick Law Firm, Splash and Dash, First Rate Industries, Greenville
Technology Incorporated and Specialized Castings Industries. Other students are interning at our local food
service establishments: McDonald’s,
Arby’s, Bob Evans, Fairlawn Steak House as well as retailers: Furniture Express, Readmore’s Hallmark and COPES
Distributing.
Ninety-one percent of Senior Marketing 12
students are planning on attending College or Technical School upon graduation
this spring. We are also excited that we
have become part of Tech Prep which is partnered with Sinclair Community
College. This allows our senior students
to become eligible for a $3000 college tuition scholarship to study business in
Sinclair‘s College of business. Our students can then further develop their business
skills and in many cases, continue their current employment. Its been a very exciting school year in Marketing
for students as they continue to develop academically, gain valuable work
experience, and develop skills in our community while they earn money.
