Summer marks the beginning of fun in the sun! With school out for vacation, summer tends to become a boredom-fest for most of our active youth, and parents tend to go crazy trying to �nd an activity that will get their kids o� the couch!

There is one thing you can count on as a military family. One of the many challenges that you will be faced with on your journey is a Permanent Change of Station (PCS). Moving is a necessary and inevitable part of military life, so you’ve received your Permanent Change of Station (PCS) orders, and after the panic subsides, you know you’ll need to get yourself and your family organized for the relocation process. So what’s your next move? Once you have your PCS orders in hand, make sure to take the following steps:
Depending on your service branch, the name of the
all the moving options available to you and start making preliminary arrangements for your move.
ACS offers relocation assistance programs that provide moving information to you and your family. Relocation also offers individual relocation counseling and newcomers support material. Ask questions, and learn about your new community and what it offers.
If you’re living in government quarters, make sure you also know all the regulations about cleaning your home before you move out.
Making a move will be a drain on your bank account. The
Relocating to a new duty station or town is physically and emotionally exhausting. But with the help of military groups,
to your new home.

Internships come in all shapes and sizes. Some are paid and some are unpaid. Some last for a summer while others continue through the school year. Some internships are local, but others offer employment abroad. Many people think internships are for college students, but opportunities for high school students exist as well. A high school internship can open the doors to the working world, showing you what it’s like to have a boss, attend meetings, and meet deadlines. Internships also introduce you to experienced people who can help guide you toward a career. The HIRED! Apprenticeship Program provides just that! Open for 15- to 18-year-old high school teenagers seeking meaningful, professionally managed career-exploration opportunities in FMWR and military facilities on Fort Knox.
The HIRED! Program is open to dependents of DOD civilians and military personnel (15 to 18 years old). Besides that, the apprentice needs to be registered with
out) and a proof of a GPA 2.0 or better. The program is a 12-week long apprenticeship program and the participants work 15 hours after school and/or on the weekends within a 7-day period.
The goal of the apprenticeship is to provide teenagers with meaningful career exploration and experience, workforce preparation trainings, and jobs they can actually put on their resume. We don’t want them
to work a “normal” summer hire job, e.g., cleaning, mowing lawns, making coffee, etc. This is a great opportunity for the teens to get an idea about “real” work life! For some college applications and college scholarships they need to have those hours on a resume! The apprentices will have to attend 6 educational workshops during a term which may include skill training involving problem solving, public speaking,
skills, leadership styles, nutrition, college application process, effective communication, and more.
Schedule: June 28 and August 20 registration. Class begins on Oct 4 and will end Dec 25 with a graduation on Jan 2.
For more information about this program please contact the HIRED! Coordinator at (502) 624-3167.
