A premier example of the School-to-Career Initiative was held Nov. 21 at the McKimmon Center. More than 1,500 students, grades 8-10, attended the 6th Annual Great Xplorations Career Fair. Students benefitted from face-to-face career discussions with area business leaders. The unique opportunity gave students a chance to explore career interests with companies representing all the 16 career clusters recognized nationally. Students from middle and high schools arrived at the event prepared to discuss issues such as educational requirements for a specific career, how the company is dependent on the global economy, and the hiring criteria for the company/industry, including evaluating character through background checks.
