Knox County Career Center Schools

National Wreaths Across America Day Saturday, December 16, 2023 In Partnership with Wreaths Across America, the Knox County Career Center is asking for sponsors for wreaths to lay on the gravesites of veterans at Mound View Cemetery on December 16, 2023. Our goal is to have as many wreaths as possible. Currently, there are about 1050 veterans buried at the cemetery. There are two different things that anyone can do to help out. The first thing is to come to Mound View Cemetery on December 16, 1200 (noon), for a brief ceremony, then to lay wreaths. This will typically take about one to two hours. It could take more or less time depending on the number of wreaths and volunteers we have. The second thing people can do is sponsor wreaths. Wreaths are $17 each. Each person can buy as many or as few as they would like, but the bottom line is, we must have sponsors for wreaths for this to be successful. There are a couple of ways a person can sponsor wreaths: First, they can go to: www.wreathsacrossamerica.org/OH0017P. This will take them to our "partnered" website with Wreaths Across America and ensure the wreaths go to Moundview Cemetery. Second: a person can go to the Knox County Career Center web page, scroll down under "events" until they see a flier for Wreaths Across America, click to look at the flier, and then scan the QR code. This will take them to the website. Please note, that for every wreath sponsored on the website, the JROTC will receive a $5 donation.

"KCCC was the best decision that I ever made as a new young adult! No college debt and started me down the right path to a career. I loved all my peers and the teachers were the best! Great school! Both of my children attended or currently attend KCCC and so did their father. Keep up the great work! You are a blessing." -Tina Beaver (Burdine)

"KCCC definitely meant a lot to my professional development. I loved learning the hard skills from Building Trades, even though I never used them professionally. However, the soft skills of teamwork, interviewing, negotiating, etc., did transfer to so many areas of my life. I learned to be more confident through my time at KCCC and I am proud to be an alumni." -Olivia Greenich Stern

Students in Transitional Living Skills choose a job location to conduct an informational interview. The first interview was held at Papa John's. Students asked questions in order to learn more about what the job entails and expectations from the company. Students spoke with the Papa John's General Manager and took a tour of the facility.

CollegeU-Business juniors spent time speaking with Kenton Mickley, Financial Advisor. Prior to his arrival students discussed what an informational interview is and its value. They prepared and conducted an informational interview with Mr. Mickley. They asked questions like why he became a financial advisor, what a typical day looks like, what is his favorite part of his day, what does he do the community, and what are his future goals. The interview helps students learn about careers in finance and professional conduct. Thank you for your time, Kenton!
