Ramona Junior High School is pleased to present College and Career Spotlight events this year. Developed by the school’s academic counselor, Mrs. Gutierrez,in partnership with the Ramona AVID Team, the goal is to expose students to various college and career options and get them thinking about post-secondary opportunities early on. These activities occur throughout the school year and are designed to promote student long-term goal-setting and help them envision future possibilities. College and Career Spotlight activities may include:

• Career Guest Speakers: Various speakers are invited from a variety of industry sectors - healthcare, business, technology, arts, trades, etc.to share their job, education path, day-to-day work, and advice for students with time for questions and answers.
• College Representatives and Campus Visits: College representatives and planned trips for students to visit local colleges and universities.
• Job Site Visits: Participate on field trips to see different workplaces in action - courthouses, hospitals, tech companies, restaurants, construction sites, etc.
• Career Exploration: Students have opportunities to research a job of interest and present requirements, duties, salary, outlook.
• Guidance Resources: Provide individualized guidance to each student on assessing interests, high school planning and potential college/career paths.

As this year gets started, we are always looking for community representation in any of the following career pathways:
