More than 1,600 students from all six Jackson County high schools attended Jackson County Industrial Development Corp.’s annual Career College Transition Fair on April 15 in the Seymour High School auxiliary gymnasium and commons.
After receiving a passport upon entering the event, students from Brownstown Central, Crothersville, Medora, Seymour and Trinity Lutheran high schools and Sandy Creek Christian Academy interacted with business professionals from the 61 booths. Once they received 10 stamps, they turned them in to enter a drawing for prizes, which were provided by various participants and JCIDC.
Thanks to the students and staff from the county schools for attending, and thanks to the Seymour High School Jobs for America’s Graduates students for manning the welcome tables and helping with other tasks. Thanks also to those who were part of a booth at the event. Here are the industries represented:
