Our goal here at Field Kindley High School is to prepare students to become responsible and successful citizens in society. This includes preparing students for a successful career and for continuing education. Therefore, the Field Kindley Career Plan is an essential part of a student's four year plan. Field Kindley is pleased to offer many opportunities in which a student may explore the diverse range of Career experiences here at school and in the community. We are very involved with the Coffeyville Chamber of Commerce who provides a solid foundation for many of our Job shadowing, On-The-Job Training and Pre-Professional Career Exploration experiences. In this manner, students are better able to make connections to real world offerings in the world of work within the framework of the school day. These opportunities along with a solid academic foundation enhances the student's transition into the labor market or into post-secondary education. Please take a moment to read over the numerous opportunities in career exploration offered here at Field Kindley High School.

Students go to the actual work site as a class assignment and receive FKHS credit. The sequencing may be found in these two communities described in the next few pages, Business and Manufacturing Technology and Health & Human Services. These sequences of classes may lead to certificate of completion, which will enhance the chances of job acquisition after high school graduation.
