Upper Valley at Work is intended
to give young people a sense of the options they may have to
find meaningful employment in this region. The profile series
will communicate that there are a variety of paths to follow
towards success, and that there is great value in starting the
journey by taking time to identify and utilize one's unique combination
of strengths and interests. The initial profile series will consist
of monthly newspaper ads and this website featuring profiled
community members, resources for incorporating the profiles into
school career exploration curriculum and a place for the public
to nominate community members for future profiles.
