College 2 Career Day at COC
College of the Canyons is hosting an event titled "College 2 Career Day: Real Jobs Need Real Skills". It will be on Saturday, September 27th from 9 am to 1 pm on the Valencia Campus. Admission is free and COC will share information about career opportunities in hot industries, the programs offered at a community college, and provide some fun hands-on demonstrations to allow you to "test drive" careers.
At Canyon, we teach you that the first step in deciding in what to do after graduation is to start researching the career options that are available. That will help you decide what majors you would be interested in exploring. Once you have decided a broad field of study, it is easier to choose which colleges and programs might be a good fit for you. If possible, please take this opportunity to research some career options at COC.
If you have any questions, please stop by the counseling office. If you go to the event, please stop by and let us know what you learned!

Safe Rides...community service opportunity
Last week we shared with you the importance of community service for college admission and scholarships. Safe Rides is a volunteer service for juniors and seniors. You must be at least fifteen years old to volunteer and the training will be on Saturday, September 6th in the Activity Center on Centre Point Parkway- by the Skate Park. For more information go to scvsaferides.com.
Teenagers: If you don't want the volunteer hours, this is still a great resource for you to know about. We always want you to be safe. If you have been drinking, you can call Safe Rides and get a ride home. If you have friends that have been drinking, don't get in the car with them. You can call Safe Rides and they will come pick you up. It is all confidential! The phone number is 661-259-6330.
The first five students to come see Mrs. Goller and show that they have Safe Rides saved in their phone will win a gift certificate for a free slurpee!
