A premier example of the School-to-Career initiative will be on Thursday, October 26, at the Triangle Town Center in Raleigh. From 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., 3,000 students from grades 8 through 12 will attend the fourth annual Triangle Town Center Career Fair. Students will benefit from face-to-face career discussions with area business leaders representing all 11 career pathways in the state Career-Technical Education curriculum. Students from 20 WCPSS schools will come prepared to interview the business leaders on topics including educational requirements for a specific career, how the company is dependent on the global economy, and the hiring process within the company or industry. For more information, contact Megan Kirkpatrick, business alliance coordinator, at 850-1873.
