The Ada Jobs Foundation (AJF) proudly recognizes the winners of the #AdaWorks Career Awareness Social Media Contest.
This contest is an effort through the Workforce Development and Talent Action Team. The Action Team was created through the Ada Jobs Foundation’s DEPTH initiative to ensure Ada’s employers can find talent and ensure a thriving community. As part of this work, the Career Awareness Social Media Contest is a way to create awareness of four critical career pathways in our community: Manufacturing, Healthcare, IT, and STEM. The contest looks to our local students as experts and creates space for our area high school students to create content with the goal of creating more excitement around careers in these fields.
"Engaging youth in the community and showing them the opportunities available locally adds value to our region," shared Daniel Castaneda with the Ada Jobs Foundation. "Ada Jobs Foundation will continue to create opportunities for interaction and will work with faculty at Pontotoc Tech and area schools to get even more students involved."
Congratulations to Brady Boeck, Yeshua Anderson, and Alexa Thompson for creating a piece of social media content that highlighted a program at Pontotoc Technology Center (PTC) or East Central University (ECU) that promotes manufacturing, IT, STEM, and/or health.
