Get a Head Start on a Rewarding Career in Public Safety
Are you a current 11th or 12th grade student interested in a career in public safety?
If so, you and your parent/guardian are invited to an information session for the Career Pathways to Public Safety program.
The Career Pathways to Public Safety program is a partnership between the Rochester City School District and the City of Rochester to increase minority representation and local residency in its uniformed divisions while increasing the awareness of career opportunities within the public safety field.
Information Session:
Wednesday, August 17, 2016 from 6 to 7:30 p.m.
Rochester City School District
131 W. Broad Street on the 3rd Floor in Conference Room 3A/B
*Parent/Guardian: RSVP by August 12 to Robert Poles, Jr. at (585) 481-7012 or via email Robert.Poles@rcsdk12.org.
Students and their parents/guardians will have an opportunity to ask questions to the program coordinator and instructors about the process of becoming viable candidates to local, State and Federal Public Safety Agencies.
