Description:	Story by Krissi TarrCareer choices, career choices, career choices. There are so many different jobs tochoose from; engineering, teaching, computer technology, and mechanics are only a few ofthe educational choices provided by the Hoosier Hills Career Center. Located in theBloomington High School North parking lot, Hoosier Hills teaches and trains students for anyfuture job they may want.Students went to the Hoosier Hills Career Center (HHCC) every day at their designatedtimes. The students involved in HHCC were split into two groups; one group went in themorning during periods one and two and returned to school at 11:00am; the other half ofthe students, After-noon Hoosier Hills Students, went to the center at 11:15am and stayedthrough fifth period. The time spills allowed the students to have smaller groups and havemore individual work time than if all the HHCC students went at the same time.For junior Maria Hale, one of the many reasons to go to Hoosier Hills was cooking food forthe needy in her Culinary Art class. It was a lot of fun and our teacher was great. We justfinished making food for families so they could celebrate Thanksgiving, Hale said, Myfavorite part was helping the people we cook for.The Career Center was a good place to get experience for future jobs; students got lots ofhands on working time. My AutomotiveTechnology class at Hoosier Hills hasimproved my technician skills, junior ChadDonaldson said, My favorite part wasactually working on the cars. Studentsenjoyed the hands-on work andopportunities that the half-day coursepresented.Hoosier Hills is not only about working oncars and machinery. It offered classes tohelp teach or enhance ones parentingskills, computer skills, mechanic skills, andmany more skills needed for popular jobs inthe students near future.Sanding a piece of his car, senior Tiko Koneprepares to paint and finish a part of hisproject at the Hoosier Hills Career Center.Kone is a part of the autobody class at HHCC.52 Qt&zmitz
