Almost 30 college, military and business representatives provided displays, discussions and information for students and the community at the Coosa County Schools annual College and Career Fair.
Many representatives brought interactive displays which allowed the students and other attendees to test their skill aptitude in particular career fields. The entire student body of the high school attended the fair, as well as members from the community.
Upon returning to class the students were abuzz with talk of jobs, military careers and college opportunities and the connections they made with local businesses, military recruiters and college representatives.
If you are a local business or nonprofit who would like to participate in next year’s event or assist with other workforce prep events such as mock interviews, please email our College and Career Coach, Karen Hayes, at khayes@coosaschools.org so she can send you information as it becomes available.
