AT HOME IN BERKs April 2017

y name is Barbara Perez and I currently serve as a
Career Awareness Counselor for Reading Muhlenberg Career & Technology Center (RMCTC). You
may ask yourself, "What role does a Career Counselor play at
the RMCTC?" My main responsibility is to spread the word
about our career programs to the community, our sponsoring
school districts, and parents of our students. Additionally, we
provide career counseling to current and prospective students,
as well as job placement opportunities. We have developed many
partnerships with businesses, industries, and post-secondary
institutions that are valuable assets to a young person beginning
his or her career. Many parents may recognize us as "vo-tech";
however, we have undergone a drastic educational shift, thus,
our programs prepare students for a variety of career pathways.
Students who attend the RMCTC may choose upon graduation
the paths of joining the workforce, attending a technical or trade
school for more advanced training, applying to a two- or fouryear college, participating in an apprenticeship program, or joining the military. Additionally, students who attend RMCTC also
earn certifications which will qualify them to obtain entry-level
positions immediately after graduation. Students who opt to go
for more advanced education may transfer these certifications
to one of over 20 institutions with which we have reciprocal
agreements.
