A new school year means a new edition of MBRT’s Way to Be Magazine. Written and designed with students in mind, Way to Be offers guidance in navigating their way through high school, college and career to lead them toward success.
This year’s issue features several new sections, highlighting skills and information to help prepare students to be ready to enter the workforce.
“We wanted to provide a hands-on option for students to really dig into their interests and skills and see how that can translate to a career”, said Nona Carroll. “New this year are three worksheets where students can brainstorm their interests, document their experience, and prepare potential answers for any interview opportunities. We are excited to be able to provide these additional resources to students across Maryland.”
In addition to the worksheets, this issue is geared toward this tech-savvy generation. Sprinkled throughout the magazine are a series of QR codes, which can be scanned with any smart phone, that will connect them to more online content that furthers a student’s understanding about the given topic. This can be especially useful for current seniors as they navigate the financial aid process (page 28-29) and can immediately be linked to more details about available grants and scholarships.
Way to Be still includes a roadmap to guide students through their high school careers, as well as checklists and charts to prepare for the college application process. Additionally, the signature Meet the Pros section highlights the pathways and careers of eighteen Maryland professionals to give students even more insight into the many employment opportunities within the state.
Maryland students can also access this content and more through the free Way to Be app, where students can continue to explore careers and map out their futures. New tools and features are constantly being added. This app is available for download in the App Store or on Google Play.
Way to Be is available to over 70,000 students across Maryland’s 24 districts in print or online.
