Opportunities from SRTC’s Career Planning Coordinator, Jen Bartlett
ASVAB Career Exploration: For any SRTC student seeking to explore career skills and interests in any area, you are invited to take the ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) for free here in the Career Planning Center. This federally funded assessment helps you find your strengths and consider various careers for your future. Although it is not required, the ASVAB results can also be used to meet later with recruiters if you choose to do so and are interested in joining the military. Next test sessions: January 19th and 21st. Spots are limited! Sign up soon by emailing jbartlett@sanford.org!
SENIORS…Interested in attending community college in Maine next fall? Here’s a low-stress way to take action! SRTC will be hosting “On-the-spot” Admissions Days with SMCC (Southern Maine Community College in So. Portland) and YCCC (York County Community College in Wells) in late December and early January.

You will receive an admissions answer that day! It is FREE and EASY to apply. Email jbartlett@sanford.org to SIGN UP for SMCC by December 7th and YCCC by January 7th. I’ll provide you with your next steps.
