Business Education Network

In November, the BEN program presented the Classroom to Career at DREAM Technical Academy. Classroom to Career allows business professionals the opportunity to engage with students, talk with them about their career choices here in the Willmar Lakes Area and discuss how the decisions in high school will open future opportunities. The program is designed to show students that they are in control of their future educational goals through personal choice and educational decisions. Thank you to CDS for sharing Brady Krupa, Caylee Christianson, and Riley Cronen so they could present to the students.

Thank you to the Willmar Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce, the business partners mentioned, and DREAM Academy for this opportunity.
