School-to-Career prepares students

Initiative goes beyond career education

Erin Erickson wishes she had taken more computer classes as she worked her way through school.

Now a senior at Fort Collins High School, Erickson said more computer experience would have helped in her job at Demrow Koenig & Associates. She started working at the Fort Collins securities and financial firm at the end of her sophomore year through the FCHS Professional and Community Experience, or PaCE, program. Since then, she has gained more responsibility at the company and learned skills that will help her regardless of the career she enters as an adult.
