HEADLINES: NTIEC Students Enjoy Youth Apprenticeships Dimock, PA – Montrose High School junior Rachel Conklin is learning how to prepare lesson plans at the Lathrop St. Elementary School. Fellow junior Nate Howell is running data tests in the paper making department at Procter & Gamble, Mehoopany. The two are among more than 100 area students participating in Northern Tier Industry Education Consortium (NTIEC) Youth Apprenticeships at business sites throughout the region. According to Marleen Butler, NTIEC Education Coordinator for Susquehanna County, the students go on-the-job one or two days a week during their junior and senior years in high school and earn a wage while learning hands-on experience. The program is invaluable in helping the students choose a career and learn what skills they need to be successful. Rachel, the daughter of Debbie Conklin, is assigned to a first grade class and worked with teacher Tracy Dunn to coordinate a student letter writing project to U.S. soldiers in Iraq. She reports she hopes to work with fifth graders next year to see which level she likes best. "I like working with the kids and being able to teach them and show them new ways to learn," she notes. Conklin plans on studying elementary education in college. "Rachel has shown excellent skills and professionalism during her apprenticeship," notes Dunn. "Her caring nature and enthusiasm has made her an asset to my class." Nate Howell, from Montrose, reports he enjoys working at Procter & Gamble two days a week, and says the youth apprenticeship has given him a wake-up call to reality and how life and work will be someday. "It’s challenging...every team gives me a chance to shine. The work ethic is right on and the devotion to working with a team is great, too," he says. The son of Kimberly Housen, Nate enjoys snow mobiling, gardening, and metal working. For more information on the NTIEC Youth Apprenticeship program, students are urged to contact their high school guidance department or call Marleen Butler at the NTIEC directly: (570) 278-5038. Mt.
