Ada High ICT program gives students early class time for job training
Ada High School offers Industrial Cooperative Training where about 45 to 50 students arrive an hour early for zero hour to complete academics while gaining work experience. Coordinator Dock Fabree says the program includes job application and retention lessons, budgeting, insurance, and credits. Students aged 16 or older work at least 15 hours weekly, with roles from sales and waitressing to training in medical fields at Valley View Hospital and local nursing homes.
