The Mayor’s Youth at Work Partnership with Goodwill provides eligible high school students work-related experiences that prepare them to succeed in employment. We partner with local businesses who employ and train students. Each student and employer will work with a Job Coach who will assist in the employment process, provide support, training and be a liaison between the student and employer. In addition to employment, students will develop social skills, learn work norms and culture, understand career pathways, build professional networks and learn to manage money.
Below is the link for students to sign up for the program. https://goodwilljax.org/ If your child is a junior and took the SAT at Paxon during the school day on April 13th, they may have received a message in their CollegeBoard account stating that those scores would not be able to count for college admissions. This was a glitch in the CollegeBoard online system and has now been corrected. Please have your child re-log into their CollegeBoard account to view their SAT scores to verify that this has been corrected.
First, May is a free application month. Anyone that applies in May for any program at FSCJ will not pay an application fee.
