TACOS & PRESENTATION

CAREER FAIR

After dinner, families ventured to the gymnasium where area employers set up a career information fair to talk with families about the different job opportunities and resources available at each organization.

From flight captains to dentists and bakers to firefighters, all children had the chance to speak to employers and explore with interactive activities what their futures could look like.  

ALMOST 20 EMPLOYERS PARTICIPATED IN THE EVENT, HELPING MAKE IT A HUGE SUCCESS.

Thank you to everyone for helping make this event possible and delivering more opportunities to the Hoosier state!
