Corby King & Kurt Dronebarger discuss career education as schools open back up.

Preparing high school students to graduate looks different today. There’s more emphasis than ever in getting students on a career path. At least exploring areas that they think might make them happy for the rest of their lives. Understanding that college is not a good option for a lot of different people. The local school systems are doing their part to expose young people to as many different opportunities as possible. Today, we continue our conversation with White County Director Of Schools Kurt Dronebarger, and Putnam County Director Of Schools Corby King.

Dr. Myra West and Dr. Daniel Marvin discuss high school and workforce readiness.

“Get the young people graduated with English, math, social studies, and science.” That may be the old perception of what we thought it meant to leave high school, but today, things are changing. A greater emphasis by educators at all levels to make sure students are coming out of high school with a career path. It doesn’t have to be the final one, but some ideas on where they would like to go moving forward. College isn’t for everyone – a career is. Two parts of that equation – Vol State and TCAT. Dr. Myra West, and Dr. Daniel Marvin explore their part of workforce readiness.

Carol Lynam & Virginia Ely discuss support options for those impacted by strokes

A stroke occurs when a blood vessel that carries oxygen and nutrients to the brain is either blocked by a clot, or bursts. If the blood flow can’t reach the region of the brain that controls a particular body function, then that part of the body will not work as it should. That’s where Carol Lynam and Virginia Ely enter the picture. These two work with victims in recovery, and most people do recover from strokes. They also formed a series of support groups to help those impacted by stokes – both individuals, and their families.
