Department Overview
Educational Talent Search
(ETS)
Educational
Talent Search (ETS) is one of the Trio Programs sponsored by the college.
ETS is a federally funded program that works with students, grades 6- 12. Our
program works in south-central Kentucky. Information
is provided to students on a post-secondary education, financial aid , and
personal development through workshops. During
the summer, students come to campus to participate in week long camps.
Upward
Bound
Upward
Bound is a Berea College outreach program, serving bright high school students
from eight counties in south central Kentucky. The
program is designed to provide participants with the skills and motivation
necessary for success in post-secondary education. Seven
Tutor-Counselor (TC) positions, grades 4 and 5, are available during the
academic year. Primary responsibilities
include planning and leading classes and providing personal, academic, and
career counseling for 10-15 students. In
addition, all TCs have office duties. Much of the work is in the communities
we serve, so a driver's license and defensive driving are necessary. Upward
Bound seeks TCs who are mature, self-directed, and able to work with minimal
supervision. TCs develop teaching,
counseling, and leadership skills, which are valuable in their preparation
for a career.
Upward
Bound also hires twelve TCs to work in the summer residential component of
the program.
