Seven Career Based Intervention (CBI) students are currently employed at Visions Awardcraft in Celina. The students are currently working part-time 20 - 25 hours per week while attending classes at Celina High School and Tristar.
In the photo above, Stephanie McCarter, Samara Wendel, and Austin Boeckman are silk screening awards that are distributed worldwide.
Alex List works in logistics, ensuring that products reach the correct destinations, and Mackenzie Lyle works in inventory and has been employed with Visions for two years.
Students not appearing in photos are Caleb Kraner and Evan Stachler.
Because several of these students are only 17 years old, they are only eligible to work for a manufacturing company like Visions Awardcraft because of their participation in a career technical education program. Students attending career tech. education programs receive safety training as a part of the class, which enables manufacturers to employ them.
Thank you to Visions Awardcraft for employing these seven CBI Tristar students!

2. Prepare answers to interviewer questions
3. Dress for success
All CBI Tri Star students were evaluated based on:
1. Initial meeting - handshake, introduction
2. Physical behaviors - good posture, eye contact, etc.
3. Answering questions - speaking in complete sentences, eliminating slang, etc.
4. Questions asked of the Interviewer - Asked questions, appropriateness
5. Closing the interview - handshake, thanking the interviewer by name
Students in all classes did AWESOME! Tri Star teachers and staff were very impressed with these fine young men and women.
