Representatives met with 92 students in five, 20 minute rotations. Students learned about a variety of career paths. Each representative highlighted their job descriptions and duties, the education and training necessary to be successful in their area, starting and ending salary ranges, and the benefits that are available. Students were able to ask them about their day to day business operations and heard advice on choosing their future careers.

I learned from Mr. Elam that local people can be successful business owners around here.” Kara Williams, senior, commented that the Career Day, “...opened her mind to all the careers that are available in each career pathway.”
