Seventh graders recently had an opportunity to talk one-on-one with professionals in their chosen fields of interest. Based on Mrs. Nelson’s Junior Achievement students’ research into their career likes and interests, managers and business owners were asked to come in and answer questions about their careers.
The feedback received from both students and business people was very positive. As told by Matthew Murray, “I feel more prepared to make my career decision because I now know what to expect in the career.” The results of this project will help further the efforts in making decisions about the future curriculum created through the Homegrown Talent Initiative grant.
