Questions families ask
A state-recognized stamp on your student's diploma and transcript that tells employers and colleges they demonstrated 15 professional skills (like reliability, teamwork, and punctuality), validated by adult mentors.
Internships, clinical placements, job shadows, approved volunteering, and part-time work tied to the pathway. When in doubt, log it here and ask; it is easier to verify a logged hour than to recover a forgotten one.
Adults who supervise a student at work or volunteering can serve as a validating mentor. Ask your student to show you their hour log, and help them log hours the same week they happen.
