Motivating students onto positive career paths


 COMPARABLE OPTIONS 

Segue is the most cost-effective Option


"We know that career path presenters from the community can inspire and motivate our students to achieve more academically. The question is how to do it cost-effectively and with respect to the classroom teachers' existing commitments. The Segue Program provides an excellent solution."

Dr. Charles Weis, Superintendent, Ventura County Schools


While traditional methods of exposing students to career realities are generally positive, none compare to the dramatic number of exposures per year that the Segue Program achieves. Segue provides a breakthrough in cost-effectiveness by utilizing community volunteers who inspire high school students to take action on their future.


"Job shadows" (one student spending half a day or more with an adult at work) can be a positive experience, yet the math on cost-effectiveness, and the need among thousands and not just a few students to be exposed to career options, overwhelmingly favors Segue. With a job shadow, one adult spends at least four hours and serves one youth; with Segue, one adult spends two hours and serves about 100 youth (in three classes). The net is that in half the time the number of students served is 100 vs. 1, making Segue 200 times more cost-effective at exposing students to a variety of career options.


The graph below compares Segue performance with approaches to increasing student knowledge of career options, career days and job shadowing.

NOTES:


Student Career Exposure (SCE) = One exposure to one career option for one student.


Segue Program = 1,000 students per year exposed to 10 career options (1,000 x 10 = 10,000 SCEs)


Career Day = 200 students per year exposed to five career options (200 x 5 = 1,000 SCEs)


Job Shadowing = 100 students per year exposed to one career option (100 x 1 = 100 SCEs)
