21st Century Scholars for 21st Century Careers

该项目正在为进入通过东南先进网络技术教育联盟（SCANTE）的活动开发的学位课程的学生开发奖学金计划。这些高级网络技术学位课程的强度水平决定了这些课程的学生将大量时间投入到学习中。此外，以工作为基础的学习经验为学生提供必要的工作经验，以进入劳动力市场和/或进一步接受教育。由SCANTE活动教育和培训的全职教师指导该项目。通过针对女性、少数民族、非传统学生和第一代大学生的招聘工作，增加国家需要的技术领域中受过良好教育和技术熟练的员工人数;2. 3.改善学生在下列学科的教育机会：先进计算机网络技术-局域网、广域网;计算机程序设计;互联网开发技术;计算机服务技术;和电信技术;提高学生对学位成绩的保留率（A.A.S.）或者匿名戒酒会通过提供指导和基于工作的学习经验;4.通过增加学生和学士学位课程教师之间的初步沟通，提高学生转入学士学位课程的成功率;5.通过教师，行业和学生的同伴指导来改善学生支持计划;成功的学生参与工作为基础的学习机会;校园学生研讨会侧重于工作场所的行为，态度和着装;以及6.通过JCJC招聘会，基于工作的学习机会，学生的指导和毕业生的雇用行业的参与，加强琼斯县初级学院和美国东南部的行业之间的伙伴关系;在学生实地考察和介绍学生组织的行业参与。

This project is developing a scholarship program for students entering the degree programs developed through the activities of The Southeast Consortium for Advanced Network Technology Education (SCANTE). The level of intensity of these advanced network technology degree programs dictates that students in these programs devote a great deal of time to their studies. In addition, work-based learning experiences give students the necessary job experience to enter into the workforce and/or further their education. Full time faculty educated and trained by the SCANTE activities direct this project.The project objectives are to:1. Increase the numbers of well educated and skilled employees in technical areas of national need by targeting recruitment efforts toward females, minorities, nontraditional students, and first-generation college students;2. Improve educational opportunities for students in the following disciplines: Advanced Computer Network Technology --- Local Area Networking, Wide Area Networking; Computer Programming; Internet Development Technologies; Computer Servicing Technology; and Telecommunications Technology;3. Increase retention of students to degree achievement (A.A.S. or an A.A. degree) by providing mentoring and work-based learning experiences;4. Increase success in transfer of students into baccalaureate degree programs by increasing the initial communication between the student and the faculty in the baccalaureate degree program;5. Improve student support programs through faculty, industry, and peer mentoring of students; successful student participation in work-based learning opportunities; on campus student seminars focusing on workplace behaviors, attitudes, and dress; and6. Strengthen partnerships between Jones County Junior College and the industries in the southeastern United States through participation of the industries in JCJC job fairs, work-based learning opportunities, mentoring of students, and the hiring of graduates; participation of industries in student field trips and presentations to student organizations.
