Y2 Application Zone Application Zone Overview
The Application Zone marks the point in the program where Fellows make use of good decision- making skills to successfully identify their post-secondary and career pathways. While “nothing is written in concrete , ” Fellows should feel that this decision marks the beginning of their commitment to continuing their education/training or joining the workforce/U.S. Military. It is possible, out of need or desire, for Fellows to choose more than one post-secondary pathway, e.g., applying to both college and for a part-time job. Such choices can be supported with input from PDs, Champions, school guidance counselors, and guest speakers--recent graduates who are working, attending school, or both. Admission requirements, including testing, vary from school to school and from program to program, as job requirements (certain skills and/or previous relevant experiences) w ill vary from employer to employer. Fellows will need to make certain they are managing this aspect of the application process for their respective pathways carefully. Those Fellows wishing to enlist in a branch of the U.S. Military Forces will need to meet with a recruiter and carefully consider their O * Net Interest Profiler Data to ensure they are selecting the “best” fit branch and identifying the type of work they want to do as U.S. Military Force personnel. Opportunities for education and training are part of the experience and many individuals become career military members, gaining additional skills, knowledge, and promotions over the course of their journey.
