(…Counselor’s Corner Continued)
November 21, 2016 was a busy day as nine Litchfield students along with many students from
around western and central Nebraska attended Career. Search, and Investigate (CSI) at MidPlains Community College in North Platte. Blaine Goodner, Tyler Wood, RaNay Casper, Lori Bay,
Jacob Swearingen, Rachel Linden, Dallas Rohde, Chris Paitz, and John Zimmer all attended the
program. They were welcomed by a speaker that encouraged all to become self-advocates as
they enter college. The students were split into groups according to their Career Cluster. The
clusters included Business, Health Sciences, and Skilled and Technical Sciences. The clusters
were further broken down into specific career interests such as Business office technology,
entrepreneurship, Accounting, nursing--LPN, Associates degree in nursing, dental assistant,
paramedic, medical Lab technician, Graphic design, diesel technology, welding, auto body,
automotive technology, HVAC, and electrical technology. Students received a quick tour of all of
these areas, no matter their choice. Students enjoyed lunch on campus as well as a quick visit
from graduate, Justine Pickar. Prior to leaving for home, students were separated according to
their career interest and met with an instructor in their career interest area. Some activities our
students enjoyed were creating an all about me ad in Graphic Design, learning about
entrepreneurship and how they need to take lots of business classes, welding students were able
to weld with the college's welders, auto body were impressed by the hood designs created by the
students there and our nursing student got to use a stethoscope. Some big "take aways" from the
students included learning that welders can make $75/hour and the variety of opportunities
available at Mid-Plains CCC. The students were sponsored by Mrs. Poland and Mr. Johnson.
