Klamath Union College & Career Week

Klamath Union High School hosted its third College and Career Week, with over 40 different businesses and organizations taking part.

College & Career Coordinator at KU, Karla Andrade, was busy bringing various Klamath Falls City Schools partners and business representatives to help Klamath Union students know where they could apply to after graduating high school.

If seniors applied to a college, university or trade school, completed FSA ID for FAFSA, made a resume, applied for a job, maintain a job, completed the ASVAB exam, Oregon Promise, OSAC Scholarship application, or asked Andrade for help to have a plan upon graduating, they would receive a raffle ticket to win an assortment of prizes.

A flat screen TV, tablets, wireless speakers, sweaters, restaurant gift cards, were given to the lucky high school students who had their ticket selected. Underclassmen, for participating in the week-long event, were also put into a separate raffle.

After applying online, several Klamath Union seniors received their letter of admission, on the spot, to Southern Oregon University as well.

Various classes from Ponderosa Middle School also made the trip Wednesday and Thursday to be informed about colleges and universities, as well as jobs they might want to consider in the future.
