Each year, a portion of the Carl D Perkins Career and Technical Education grant is used to pay
a year’s subscription ($8,000.00) to WOIS/The Career Information System that is available to all five middle schools the four high schools, and other sites including the homeless and adjudicated youth programs. WOIS is an immense tool for students to explore careers, create goals for their future, make educational plans to reach their goals, and find the training programs and the right schools to help them achieve their dreams. From September 1, 2012 – June 30, 2013 there were a total of 403,356 pages or hits viewed. If you take the 403,356 pages or hits viewed and divide by 180 days it works out to about 2,240 pages or hits per day from our students using the program.
