School Counts! is a statewide initiative that
encourages employers to

high
school performance records as one of the criteria used to evaluate

credential
during an
interview to certify that an individual has:
Obtained a grade of “C” or better in every course;
Achieved a 95% attendance and punctuality record;
Completed, or is on track to complete, high school in eight consecutive
semesters;
Taken more than the minimum graduation requirements.
Young people need to know that there is a correlation between working hard in
school and finding a job- whether that job is in a Fortune 500 company or in the
stockroom of a local retail store. They need to know that attendance,
punctuality, attitude and effort count and that nothing succeeds like hard work.
Employers can reinforce their messages by asking young adult job applicants for
high school performance records. School Counts! will help students understand
that school performance is important and will help develop a more highly
qualified workforce.
Enroll your business…Businesses that register as School Counts! Employers are
linked to a greater number of dependable entry-level applicants through
participating schools’ career centers and “school-to-work” programs.
