Business Professionals Needed to 'Interview' Troy Middle School Students

Volunteers are needed to conduct interviews and view portfolios as part of the 's "A.P.T. to Succeed" program. A.P.T. to Succeed is a project in which all 8th grade students go through a professional interview by members of the Troy business community.

Students present portfolios of their accomplishments in middle school, focusing on the areas of Academic achievement, Personal time management and Teamwork. Also, they are prepared to answer questions about their future plans, both academically and career-wise. This program depends on volunteer interviewers and we are so grateful for the support we receive from members of the !

There are several dates and time slots from which you can choose to participate. This year, we are offering online sign ups, so please click on the link(s) that work best for you (feel free to come to more than one school!)

If you have middle school age children in the Troy School District, we ask that you volunteer at a different school than that which your child attends. (The interviews are much more realistic when the student does not know the interviewer.)

Volunteers are needed at these times and schools:

• May 2 and 3 at ; sign up here.
• May 7, 8 and 9 at ; sign up here.
• May 15 and 16 at ; sign up here.
• May 22 at ; sign up here.

Thank you again for your willingness to volunteer!
