Join us at the upcoming PWCS Career Fair
The Career and Technical Education Department hosts a career fair that is open to all middle school, high school, and adult education students and their families. At the career fair, attendees will have the opportunity to explore career pathways they might not have considered and leave with knowledge, tools, and meaningful connections to help with their career planning beyond graduation.
Be sure to check out the short, informal “tiny talk” sessions while attending the career fair and learn about opportunities PWCS offers to support student career interests and goals.
