This summer the Attleboro Area School to Career Partnership facilitated over 50 dynamic, paid work placements for youth from our serviced communities. Hosted through in-person, virtual, and hybrid formats, participating youth gained valuable exposure to real-life work environments while simultaneously completing work-readiness curriculum. See below to recognize some projects each cohort worked on!
Environmental Enterprises
Kirby lead a team of eager workers in the science lab where they learned about building their own mini hydroponic systems and going over the business of hydroponics and how it works. They took part in testing of local water supplies and also did all the maintenance in science classrooms.
Culinary
A Commis is a basic chef in larger kitchens who work under a Chef De Partie to learn stations, responsibilities, and ways of operation. Our Commis' utilized the kitchen at AHS to produce 140 hot meals a week (for six weeks) for the Attleboro Interfaith Collaborative. With a 20% increase in meals from years prior, Chef Petersen created a family environment while exposing the youth to skills they will use for life. Each Commis completed their ServSafe certification in addition to obtaining cooking experience.
Maintenance
The Seekonk Maintenance team worked tirelessly performing tasks that prepared the school for the start of the new year. Working with Mr. Medeiros, youth learned about safety, responsibility, and time management in order to get all of their projects done effectively.
In Attleboro the Maintenance team worked on several school grounds helping maintain gardens, painting and helping prepare for the coming school year.
Their hard work can be seen along the SHS grounds especially by the new repairs to to the building and cleanliness of the classrooms.
