Blount County Career Expo
Dear Business Owner:
I am excited to invite you to the 4th Annual Blount County CareerExpo. Our goal is to have professionals share with the students of Blount County and Oneonta City Schools, information about careers. The working world is rapidly changing and what better way to prepare our young people than to have area and regional professionals share critical information with these students.
On April 26, 2016, all 10th graders from Blount County and Oneonta City Schools will meet at the Blount County-Oneonta Agri-Business Center where business owners will share information about workforce needs and awareness. The Career Expo will be fun, educational, and a hands-on experience for students to become familiar with careers.
Business and industrial leaders, workforce developers, career center representatives, high school counselors and administrators, career coaches, Wallace State Community College and Jacksonville State University will work together to offer our students a successful transition to life after high school.
I hope you join us for this important Career Expo. I ask that you bring information about your career to share with our students. For example, specific skills or degrees, hands-on activities and any other information you find important to share. Tables will be set up in the Agri-Business Center for you and students will be scheduled throughout the day. I will send you more information about our schedule at a later date. Attached are contact information and a participation form. Please return the form by April 22, 2016.
You may call or email me or any of the other counselors if you have questions, or need additional information. I look forward to seeing you at the Blount County Career Expo.
