"Thank you for creating a way to teach the next generation about the workforce. We learned so much about all of the job opportunities that we will have in our area.”
~Elizabeth, 8th Grade
"Thank you for letting me have the opportunity to search for a job that I like. I learned that I should look at other booths and give them a chance. I always saw myself in the healthcare field. Now I'm looking at other options. I learned that you
have to dig a little bit deeper to find important information."
~Hugh, 9th Grade
"I learned that there are a lot of jobs that us outsiders don't know about, and that there are more positions than people think that work behind the scenes. I also learned about what certain positions do. For lots of the companies, they had videos that let us students get more of an understanding on what different positions do, a normal day of work,
and how they help out the company."
