Rebekah H. Ivey
Career Development Coordinator/Special Populations Coordinator
James Kenan High School ~ 910-293-2097 ~ rivey@duplinschools.net
The Career Development Coordinator (CDC) supports the Career and Technical Education department and works collaboratively with administrators, student services personnel, teachers, parents, business/industry, postsecondary institutions, military, community organizations, and other stakeholders to ensure the delivery of career development services for students. CDC's promote career awareness, exploration, and planning. The role of the CDC also includes facilitating the work-based learning opportunities (job shadowing, internships, co-op education, etc...)
The Special Populations Coordinator (SPC) supports the Career and Technical Education department through identifying students within special populations each semester who are taking any CTE courses and providing support to those CTE teachers with possible teaching strategies. SPC's also work with each student who is considered Special Pops on developing, implementing, and monitoring their Career Development Plan. The role of the SPC also includes collaborating with other service providers to assist the members of special populations in academic, social, and personal development.
The mission of Career and Technical Education is to empower all students to be successful citizens, workers, and leaders in a global economy. The CTE program areas we offer, here at James Kenan, are Agricultural Education, Automotive Service, Business, Finance, & Information Technology Education, Carpentry, Electrical Trades, Family and Consumer Sciences Education, and Health Sciences Education. We also have Career and Technical Student Organizations that are active at James Kenan. They are Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA), National Technical Honor Society (NTHS), and Future Farmers of America (FFA).
Announcements & Information:
- Attention Seniors: I am sure many of you are still asking the question: "what am I going to do after high school?" If this sounds like you, please see Mrs. Ivey! She would like to meet with any seniors who would like help in finding out more about potential careers. Please email her or go by her office, which is located next to the Art classroom, and sign up for a time to meet. Mrs. Ivey is ready and available to help you find your career path after graduation!
- Please check out this great career development resource through NCVPS: https://ncvps.org/iworkncvirtual/
- Most of you should be familiar with Xello, the online website where you register for classes each year. You can access the Xello website by going through your NC EdCloud (where you go to access SchoolNet). Using this resource, you can complete career exploration activities. Once you go to the Xello site, there are three sections "About Me," "Explore Options," and "Goals & Plans." Please take time to complete some of the activities in the "About Me" and "Explore Options" section. In the "About Me" section, there is a matchmaker activity where you answer questions about yourself and it matches you with specific careers. There is also a personality styles activity and a learning styles activity. Many of you completed these activities in 8th grade, but it would be great to complete them again and see how/if your interests have changed over the years. In the "Explore Options" section, you can find out more information on many different careers as well as information pertaining to colleges and majors. Please DO NOT go into the "Goals & Plans" portion of this website. This is where our counselors go to work with course registration for each year. Please take advantage of this free resource to find out more information about careers and colleges. IF YOU NEED ANY HELP ACCESSING THIS SITE, PLEASE EMAIL ME! I WILL BE GLAD TO HELP!
- This activity is called "Reality Check." It is a budgeting activity. Seniors, you participated in the "Reality of Money" event back in September that State Employees Credit Union put on for us. This activity is much like that event. Please follow the directions listed below. As always, please let me know if you have any questions or have any issues getting on the website. This is a great activity and I hope you will check it out. https://nccareers.org/ Once at the website, scroll down to find "Reality Check." Follow the instructions it gives you.
