The overall goals of the Senior Seminar Program are to help prepare our graduates to enter the workforce with a job-ready portfolio and the skills necessary to secure and retain employment. Every Senior at CMTHS is required to attend Senior Seminar for a 45 minute session with their program every two weeks.
Seniors will...
-
Create a Professional Portfolio of their work at CMTHS which will include a resume, letters of reference, photographs and evidence of their work as well as awards and certificates.
-
Receive instruction in employment readiness skills such as filling out applications, job related forms, and how to prepare for and go on a job interview.
-
Participate in workshops on Entrepreneurship and Personal Finance Literacy
