The final day of the Careers on Wheels (COW) event took place at West Lincoln Middle School, where we had the pleasure of hosting 4th-grade students from Love Memorial, North Brook, Union, and Childers Elementary Schools. This event has been an exciting and eye-opening experience for our 4th-grade and 7th-grade students, providing them with hands-on exposure to various career pathways and opportunities in their own community.
Our students had the chance to interact with professionals from diverse industries, explore their vehicles and equipment, and learn firsthand about the careers that keep our community thriving. It was incredible to witness their enthusiasm and curiosity as they asked questions and gained insights into potential future careers.
