Pennsylvania Highlands Community College is happy to announce the College’s Career Closet is officially up and running. The Career Closet is located on the Richland Campus, in the Career Planning and Employer Services Office. The Career Closet is a great opportunity for students, allowing those in need of an interview or workplace outfit to have a year-round option to choose professional attire free of charge.
Sandy Schrum, Professor, Business Management, laid the foundation for this concept several years ago when organizing an annual college community drive to collect professional clothing for distribution to students in need. “Professor Schrum has been an avid supporter of our recent outreach and partnership efforts to expand and improve this concept. We are pleased to be able to provide this valuable service to our students with such great community enthusiasm and effort,” stated Larry Brugh, Director of Career Planning and Employer Services.
Recently, the Young Professionals of the Alleghenies (YPA) came on board to offer their organization as a pipeline in collecting professional clothing.
As sizes and the overall clothing supply will be available on a limited basis, Career Planning and Employer Services will be collaborating with the local PA WORKWEAR Program, operated by Goodwill Industries. PA WORKWEAR provides eligible individuals with interview outfits and work clothing at no charge. Eligibility is determined by the County Assistance Office or Department of Public Welfare. For more information, students may contact the County Assistance Office at 814.533.2491 or visit the office at 625 Main Street, Johnstown, PA 15901.
For more information on the Career Closet, please contact Career Planning and Employer Services at 814.262.3845 or careerservices@pennhighlands.edu. You can also visit the Career Closet on the Richland Campus, located at 101 Community College Way in Johnstown, Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania Highlands Community College President, Dr. Walter Asonevich, recently discussed the College’s active participation in a statewide transfer agreement initiative that can ease transfer and result in substantial savings for students seeking a four-year degree in Pennsylvania.
Those included in this agreement are Pennsylvania’s 14 Community Colleges, the 14 Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) institutions, and several other colleges and universities across the state. Coordination for this initiative is provided by the Pennsylvania Transfer and Articulation Center (PA TRAC), to learn more about PA TRAC just visit http://www.pacollegetransfer.com/.
Students can enter into one of six approved Pennsylvania Highlands programs, complete the associate degree and then transfer to one of the participating colleges/universities with guaranteed placement as a junior. The goal of this initiative is to make the cost of a four-year degree more affordable for students and their families.
Associate degree programs at Pennsylvania Highlands Community College meeting PA TRAC (Program-to-Program) transfer requirements include:
Business Administration (To Accounting, Economics, Finance, Management, Marketing)
Communication Studies
Computer Science
Criminal Justice
Early Childhood Education
Psychology
“Collaboration between and among the colleges and universities is the key to being able to provide such a program.” said Pennsylvania Highlands President Dr. Walter Asonevich. “We all recognize that our students have limited resources and we want to help them make good decisions about how they utilize these resources and prepare for their future.”
It is estimated that a student taking advantage of this program will save thousands of dollars over the first two years of his or her education. For more information, please contact the Admissions Office at 814.262.6446 or admissions@pennhighlands.edu.
