CPC Update

When we return from Thanksgiving Break, holiday festivities will be in full swing in CPC. Be sure to add the calendar invites to your calendar AND refer to the graphic below for all the fun events!

The first event begins on Thursday, December 1st. You'll find your stocking hung on the "chimney" outside Genia's office. Throughout the month, write a note of thanks or an encouraging word to any (or all) team member(s) and drop it in his/her stocking. We will all check our stockings on the morning of December 16th to gather the cheery notes! No peaking early!! Note cards to place in the stockings will be on the empty desk, right across from Genia's office.

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday!! Eat all the yummy turkey you can!

1. As of today, this is the only location on our website that High School Students will be able to access the online application. The "apply" button will only take them to the Adult App.
2. The adult application verbiage has been updated to clearly state this is NOT the correct app for high school students.
3. Marketing has created cards with QR codes that direct HS students to the correct location on the website to access the application. We will not hand these out to schools/students until the link is live.
4. We are being very flexible in our language when communicating about the application being accessible . . . "sometime in December - be sure to check with your high school counselor in December" is sufficient!
5. The plan as of today is to go over the workflow with Career Advisors in our regularly scheduled meeting on 11/28.
6. The plan as of today is to train high school counselors on their portion of the application/workflow on 11/29.
7. We are creating a document of FAQs to help equip everyone with the answers to potential questions!

In general terms, here is how the online application will work:

1. High school student will access the FT webpage to access the online application.
2. High school student will create an account (they can NOT use school email to create account), similar to what adults do within Recruiter.
3. In less than 5 minutes, the high school student will be able to complete his/her application.
4. Upon the high school student clicking "submit," two things happen:
5. Student and Parent/Guardian receive an automated email that their application is received.
6. High school counselor receives notification to upload three supplemental documents (transcript, behavior, attendance) and enter the student's state testing ID number
7. HS counselor submits, then the FTTC Career Advisor assigned to the student's high school receives notification and is able to complete the interview at the student's school.
8. At the same time, R&R receives notification of the completed app and enters demographic information into Prodigy.
9. After the interview, the FTTC Career Advisor who interviewed the student moves the app through the workflow and the FTTC Career Advisor who is over the student's selected program is notified.
10. At that point, the Program-Specific FTTC Career Advisor works their magic in accepting, waitlisting, DNQing, and canceling apps. More to come on all of that within Prodigy!

Remember - graduating seniors will still use the Adult Application within Recruiter to apply for a program!
