Shorian Shop a hit with Lake Shore students
Lake Shore High School offers multiple Career and Technical Education (CTE) classes. The Shorian Shop is a student favorite at Lake Shore. Janice Radlick, oversees the Shorian Shop and all its glory. This CTE class specializes in marketing, sales, and marketing management.
Radlick states, “The Marketing & Sales and Marketing Manager classes are recommended for any juniors and seniors who want to work in business or own their own business.”
In this class, Radlick teaches students many skills needed to own and operate a business. She teaches them how to open a sale, approach customers, and close a sale. These skills are critical in the business world. Radlick also prepares students with a careers unit. Radlick states, “Students prepare a resume and job application, and do mock interviews with business people.”
Tyler Scherer, a senior at Lake Shore and a current manager of the Shorian Shop, noted that “Taking business courses at Lake Shore can give students a significant advantage in the college admissions process, as well as in the business world.”
In addition to his previous responses, Scherer says, “I learned crucial life skills from these marketing classes, including time management and leadership skills.”
As this class is recommended to juniors and seniors if students succeed they are able to apply for store manager in the Marketing Manager class. Radlick explains, “Managers are responsible for running the store, including ordering merchandise, entering inventory, accounting and financial records, and similar activities. It is great experience!”
A business needs more than just a manager, it needs employees. The other junior and senior students determine what products the Shorian Shop sells, what prices the store charges, and how they display and promote the products.
Scherer notes that “You do not need to have a particular interest in marketing; it is an interesting and fun class and will help anyone who will work in business in the future. You can gain actual working experience working in the Shorian Shop!”
