Job Seekers’ Roundtable, Workforce Education bottom floor FOSS
Fri., March 25: 1-2:30 p.m.
This Friday’s Roundtable: Job Search & Preparation that No One is Talking About
How many times have we read job posting “KSAs” (Knowledge, Strengths, Abilities recommendations for applicants), then grew excited about how the bulleted items were all matching up to our abilities and expertise. . . And then – Boom – the last one or two listed are not within our skill range, and we pass on applying.
Not a lot of applicants know that they can still get positions without aligning to every detail of what’s asked in the job description. We’ll talk about some of these strategies along with some info on our revamped Word and Excel courses. All this along with the usual great coffee and treats from Central Market.
See you Friday – and as always, Good Luck Out There

![American Honors Orientation with Balloons[8]](http://today.shoreline.edu/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/American-Honors-Orientation-with-Balloons8-1024x731.jpg)
Shoreline Community College is launching a new program that will support eligible students to earn an associate degree with honors and transfer to a top four-year university to complete their bachelor’s degree—saving a significant amount on the cost of their overall tuition for a bachelor’s degree. The new program, American Honors, will enhance the existing Honors program offered at Shoreline.
“The American Honors program is a tremendous opportunity for students to get even more out of their Shoreline experience,” says Cheryl Roberts, Ed.D., President of Shoreline Community College. “It’s an ideal avenue – and an extraordinary academic opportunity – for those who are looking to continue their education beyond community college.”
By starting local, American Honors program graduates report saving up to 40% on the total cost of their bachelor’s degree. Students in the American Honors program prepare for junior- and senior-level coursework in small, rigorous Honors classes. For two years, Honors students develop leadership and academic skills in a close-knit community with the support of one-on-one advising.
Students are able to apply for transfer to any four-year college or university, or take advantage of transfer agreements with a network of top colleges and universities in the exclusive American Honors National Transfer Network. Four-year schools in the growing American Honors Network include universities in Washington such as Gonzaga University, University of Puget Sound, Pacific Lutheran University, and Whitworth University.
“We’re so excited for Shoreline Community College to offer American Honors,” says Phil Bronner, CEO and Co-Founder of Quad Learning, the education service provider that collaborates with select community colleges to offer the American Honors program. “Colleges with an American Honors program find incredible student success. This decision will increase two-year completion rates and transfer success for students, which really demonstrates the commitment Shoreline has to their mission and their students.”
American Honors program graduates have been accepted to schools within and beyond the American Honors network including Stanford University, University of Washington, Vanderbilt University, Seattle University, University of Southern California, and Western Washington University, and many have received transfer scholarships to help towards the cost of tuition for their transfer schools.
Shoreline Community College joins 9 other community colleges across the US to offer the American Honors program, including Community Colleges of Spokane and Pierce College in Washington. Shoreline Community College will offer the program in Fall 2016. Students interested in applying should email admissions@americanhonors.org with questions. The selection process is holistic and examines candidates’ leadership abilities, extracurricular activities, academic achievements, standardized test scores, and commitment to the ideals of the program.

Northwest Film Forum Class: Tradecraft vs. Momentcraft, Blackbox Theater
Thurs., March 24: 6-9 p.m.
Led by Don Thacker of Imagos Films, this is a free class by Northwest Film Forum. Some filmmakers just pick up a camera and dive headfirst into making a film project. However, many argue that before randomly picking up a camera and setting out to shoot some footage, it’s important to first do your due diligence in researching and building a base of experience and technical knowledge. This is a FREE discussion exploring the advantages and disadvantages of those two schools of thought.
