Cougars! We have Olympic medalists!
The Johnson County Job Olympics were held at UCM on 5/8/26. Job Olympics is a competitive, hands-on event designed for some high school students to showcase vocational skills and boost employment readiness. Students compete in simulated real-world tasks along with mock job interviews, and are judged by local business leaders.
Pierce Ulshafer earned a gold medal for his performance in job interview skills and also earned a perfect score on professional dress (dressing appropriately and presenting well for the job he would be interviewing for). Some comments from the interviewer included: "very impressive, great communication skills, great detail to answers, shook interviewer's hand, would hire him"!
Gabriel Barker earned a silver medal for his performance tasks which included filing/alphabetizing, filling grocery orders, and bussing tables. Gabe scored 29/30 points in both grocery orders and bussing tables, and scored 24/30 on filing/alphabetizing.
Congratulations to both!
