The NKHS Career Center The North Kingstown High School Career Center (NKCC) is a wonderful new resource for NKHS students, faculty, staff, and parents. The Center provides information associated with post secondary planning: two and four year colleges, vocational and technical schools, apprenticeship programs, civilian and military careers, scholarships and financial aid, job and summer opportunities.
The NKHS Career Center does not replace the services of your guidance counselor, it enhances them.
All students are encouraged to visit the NKCC during lunch and after school. All grade levels are scheduled into the Career Center for college and career units during advisory. Parents are also welcome during the school day, but are encouraged to contact the NKCC in advance to be sure there are no classes scheduled into the Center using the resources.
Visiting Career and College Representatives The Center is host to College Admission Representatives during the Fall and numerous career and military representatives will make presentations to interested students throughout the year. This year, monthly career visits by working practitioners are being planned focusing on:
College Representative Visits
Students must sign up in advance in the Career Center for career and college rep visits. Appointments are available for students and parents/guardians wanting to use the resources of the NKCC after school. Over 25 LINKS parent volunteers will be there to assist in the day to day operations of the center to assist with your college and career information needs.
Career Center Services
In addition, the Guidance Department staff are planning special workshops to assist students with topics such as filling out financial aid forms and writing college essays. These workshops will be presented during advisory, lunchtime and after school for interested students.
Career Center Bulletins College visits, career cluster visits, college fairs and other weekend or evening programs in the North Kingstown area will be advertised in the bi-weekly Career Center bulletin, which is given to seniors in their advisory on a semi-weekly basis and also available at the Career Center.
A comprehensive Scholarship Guide is also distributed by the Career Center each year, and is available in the Career Center and on the guidance website as well.
The NKHS Career Center is staffed Wednesday and Thursday at lunchtime, Tuesday and Thursday 2:00-4:00 and one night a month (TBD).

All
students, regardless of their background, academic achievement, or economic
status are given the opportunity to develop plans for the future that take into
account their interests and abilities, current trends in education, the economy
and the job market. 
Senior
students are highly encouraged to meet with the College Reps if they intend on
applying to those schools. After scheduling appointments in advance, the Reps
meet with prospective applicants to their
college; these Reps are often the
“readers” of the student’s application, so it helps to match a name with a face
if you are a prospective applicant. College Rep visits are published in the
morning announcements and uploaded to the guidance website each week.
Some
of the resources and services that we make available to all NKHS students and
families are:
