CAREERS - MRS. POMPEY
• Students realize that there are jobs that can be directly connected to their current personal interests.
• Students learn about what employers are looking for from their workforce, as well as how our body language is constantly providing signals (both good and bad) about what and how we are responding to our work environment.
• We will use the Georgia Career Information System to assist students on this journey of self-realization.
