Student Workforce Readiness Programs

The classroom cannot provide all of the experience that students should possess to prepare for a career in manufacturing or business.  The USMBC sponsors a range of programs for Upper Eastern Shore students to help them explore options and guide them in their career plans.  These programs include:

Plant Tours for Students – Students attend onsite visits at Upper Eastern Shore companies where they are exposed to the “real world” of manufacturing and business.

Workplace Readiness – Students attend training sessions on the job application process, resume writing and interviewing skills, and develop a student portfolio.

Job Shadowing – Students are placed in a business to observe employees and learn about a particular occupation

Internships – Students work with an employer for a specified period of time to learn about a particular industry or occupation.  This may also include the assignment of mentor who provides instruction, critiques performance, and works in consultation with the student’s classroom teacher.
