Description
Summary:The objectives were to 1. provide students with a list of resources and options for planning their future education or career, 2. provide an opportunity to ask questions and talk with adults, 3. learn about the current job market and what careers are in demand, 4. inquire about prerequisites and skills necessary for acceptance into an education program or job, 5. promote CTE courses and student programs, 6. create partnerships with business and industry, and 7. provide an opportunity for members of the community and school administrators to visit our building and see teacher- and studentgenerated work. Because of the fair, our school and its staff have established a reputation for how much we care about our students and support them in planning for their future.
