I am most excited about developing professional skills that will impact my marketing career,” stated Cora. “After I graduate Mount Horeb High School, I plan to continue my education and receive a bachelor’s degree in marketing. It is my dream to use my degree in a sports-marketing setting one day.”

The Youth Apprenticeship Program provides a pathway and tools necessary to fulfill each student’s personal plan. Cora will have a list of requirements that include a job guide and checklist of duties that MHTC and Cora will complete. Jodie recognized that MHTC and Cora would make a good team and shared a MHHS teacher stated "Cora is an organized student who builds effective relationships with people. She actively listens to others and helps them achieve their goals while doing what it takes to achieve her own."
