Good news!!!!

I wanted to let everyone know that I am starting a new job on Monday, March 3rd. I am now employed at St. Clair County Community College! (it is referred to as SC4 for short, their website is actually www.sc4.edu)

I will be working part-time as an assistant to the Learning Lab Facilitator in the "Skills to Work" learning lab - this is one of the many programs offered in Michigan to help displaced and unemployed workers prepare for their GED or taking college prep courses. As you may know, the economy in Michigan is highly dependent on the automotive industry; however, many of those jobs are being cut or moved overseas (much like the textile industry in the south). The "Skills to Work" program will help these workers prepare for new careers.

This is a perfect opportunity for me to learn about how a college operates and also give me some teaching and seminar experience! Hopefully this will be the first step in me becoming a college professor!!!!
