Career Readiness at Cuyahoga Heights High School
The Cuyahoga Heights High School Class of 2022 took part in a
four-week Career Readiness unit concluding with Mock
Interviews. The unit was taught and developed by Jennifer
Hedinger, CVCC Career Specialist for Cuyahoga Heights. HR
and career professionals representing various fields of interest
interviewed students. Some of the interviewers were from the
North East Ohio Regional Sewer District, the Cleveland Clinic,
Jubilant LLC and NASA, in addition to staff members from
CVCC. The students gained experience and learned about all
the hidden rules and etiquette related to interviewing virtually
via Zoom, Google Meet or other online platforms. Due to the pandemic, virtual interviewing will
probably remain in effect with businesses in the future. It is important that young job candidates
practice so they are successful when a job is on the line. Special thanks goes out to all participating
interviewers and kudos to all the interviewees!

program, instructed by Mrs. Melissa Munro,

extra efforts and hard work paid off! Winning this competition was a great honor, as the artwork will

job Beck and Maria!

Savory Creations with CVCC’s Hotels and Resorts Students
Recently, CVCC’s Hotels and Resorts students, instructed by Mrs.
April Moné, collaborated with Brecksville Broadview Heights High
School Intervention Specialist for Environmental Science, Alyson
Robertson, on making homemade butter. The students connected
virtually to learn how to create the butter from scratch, which went

perfectly with the homemade breads the students had made earlier. Bread flavors included zucchini
cheddar, pepperoni, carrot, and fresh herbs and cheddar. Keep up the exciting and collaborative
efforts!

CVCC LPN Students in

program that gives businesses an incentive to
upskill their current and potential employees. After identifying the technology-related skills needed,
employers can partner with CVCC as their training provider for an industry-approved credential
(hundreds have already been approved by the state, and they are accepting requests for new ones).
Once proof of completion is attained for the short-term (less than one year), tech-related credential,
the employer can be reimbursed up to $2,000 per employee (up to $30,000 total). For more info,
