District honors Ingles partners for supporting occupational pathway and student internships
Summary
Cleveland County Schools recognized community partners from Ingles Market for longstanding internship and employment opportunities that support the Occupational Course of Study pathway; staff said the partnership helps students earn hours toward diplomas and contributes to graduation rates.
District staff described the Occupational Course of Study (OCS) pathway and recognized Ingles Market store-level employees for supporting students in competitive employment and internships. A staff presenter said teachers require students to submit pay stubs to document community-based hours and called the partnership “seamless transition” support for exceptional children preparing for adulthood.
The presenter cited historical data showing that a high share of OCS students had internships or paid positions at Ingles (staff said 97% in a data pull referenced during the remarks). The board and honorees took photos and applauded the longstanding community relationship that staff said contributes to the county’s graduation outcomes.
