Early Placement Update The 2017-2018 Early Placement program for our High School seniors started on January 23, 2018. Is program is for CVCC’s best students, having a B average and nine or fewer absences during their program year one and two. During Early Placement, students work four afternoons a week instead of attending their CVCC program so that they can have real life work experience to increase their job ready skills and possibly lead to full time employment following the completion of their program. As of February 20, 2018, CVCC has 31 students from 12 different programs participating in Early Placement or Paid Internship, two in an Apprenticeship program and one student on a Non-Paid Internship. Students are making a minimum of $8.30 up to $15 per hour at this time. CVCC wishes these students the best of luck as they contribute to our regions work force. Tenth Grade Visitations CVCC held tenth grade visitations for students interested in attending CVCC next school year. On Wednesday, February 14, 2018, 233 students attended CVCC; these students were from Cuyahoga Heights High School, Garfield Heights High School, Independence High School, Nordonia High School, and Revere High School. On Thursday, February 15, 2018, 182 students attended from Brecksville-Broadview Heights High School, North Royalton High School, and Twinsburg High School. The 415 total students that attended the visitations was an increase from last year, CVCC hopes to see all those students next school year!

Apprenticeship Opportunities for CVCC Students On Thursday, January 18, 2018, Derrick Miller of Pitt Ohio and Jess Looman, Recruitment Specialist for U.S Cargo, Package Delivery presented details on their new apprenticeship program to senior students in Auto Body Repair and Refinishing, Auto Service Technology, Building and Property Maintenance and the Power Equipment Technology program. Apprenticeship employees begin as Dock Workers making $12.00 an hour and move with experience and age to Van Driver ($14.00 hourly), Straight Truck Driver CDLB ($18.45 per hour), to CDLA Driver ($21 per hour), eventually Line Haul Drivers can make six figures with the company. Pitt Ohio pays for all training and instruction for the CDL licenses process. Pitt Ohio Employees do not have overnight routes so typically drivers are home every night. Depending on interest and ability there are also pathways for Auto Mechanics, Body Repair Workers and Fork Lift Operators. They warned students that they could not hire anyone with three moving violations in 3 years so to keep their driving records clean; applicants also need to be able to pass a drug test. Pitt Ohio is trying to alleviate a driver shortage problem caused by the retirement of many 30-year employees in creating this apprenticeship program; they have a 6% annual turnover rate. Pitt Ohio employees have excellent benefits with medical coverage fully paid by the company. Pitt Ohio is a regional employer with 21 terminals in nine states, they currently have a terminal in Cleveland and they are in the process of building a new terminal with 130 bays in Parma. Students can apply for part time Dock Worker positions to get their foot in the door when they are 18 years old.
