Nearly 1,800 students from five Jackson County high schools attended JCIDC’s annual Career College Transition Fair on April 16 at Seymour High School.
Seymour sent all of its students, from grades 9 to 12, while Brownstown Central, Crothersville, Medora and Trinity Lutheran high schools sent 20 to 40 students each.
Set up in the commons and auxiliary gymnasium, there were more than 50 booths, including education, financial institutions, health care, community services, military, skilled trades, retail and manufacturing.
Each student received a passport and had to go around to at least 10 booths to interact with business professionals and get their passport stamped, and they turned them in for a chance to win prizes provided by JCIDC and several of the booths.
Thanks to all schools, students and staff for attending. We appreciate Seymour High School for allowing us to host the event there.
Thanks to Seymour High School’s 11/12 Jobs for America’s Graduates program for having nearly 60 juniors and seniors helping with the event today.
Thanks to all of the participants for taking time to be there to interact with students and offer great activities, giveaways and drawings.
Thanks to the SHS custodial staff for helping with setup and cleanup of the auxiliary gym and commons.
This event is possible thanks to everyone who is involved. We look forward to continuing this event next spring.
