With help from the IHS College & Career Center, three IHS seniors found their own post-graduation path while still in high school. Jessica Pizzo's passion was learning more automotive skills. Alex Stoffelsma found his niche in a welding program, and TeJon Tejada will serve in the National Guard in the short term as he continues to figure out his long-term career goal. "Even if you don't know what you're going to do, this gives you an opportunity to learn a new skill (and) meet a whole bunch of new people like you would do in college," said Tejada, who'll work toward a role as an Informational Techonlogy specialist focused on communications. Pizzo grew up working on vehicles with her father, so enrolling in the BOCES program was a natural. She'll study it next at Monroe Community College. But, college isn't for everyone, Stoffelsma says. He enrolled last spring in a 20-week course at Arc+Flame, a local welding school (learn more: rocafc.com) and expects to have a job as early as this summer. For IHS students who want to learn more, see Mrs. Bucciarelli in the College & Career Center next fall!
