TRENTON, Ga. — Though it’s a few years too early for them to get jobs, students at Dade Middle School are getting a big jump on career planning through the school’s Project Synergy.

Dade Middle English teacher Matt Jelley, who runs Project Synergy with colleague Thomas Randolph, said this year’s project goal is to get students prepared to go though the job process.

After spending time identifying, researching and looking at the qualifications for jobs, students took the final steps Wednesday during judging. Awards will be handed out today, with 11 winners splitting $1,000.
