A simple hello can make a big difference. 👋 During Start With Hello Week, OCPS encourages students to reach out, include others and help create welcoming school communities where everyone feels connected and supported.

Among the trends that have led to this moment: a mismatch between the careers college graduates pursue and the kinds of jobs employers struggle to fill. For instance, far fewer students are majoring in health care fields than are needed to meet demand. hechingerreport.org/as-colle…
