Wilson Middle School Career Fair Gives Students A Glimpse of Future Opportunities |
The Wilson Middle School Career Fair was an overwhelming success! Over 530 8th-grade students had the opportunity to hear from over 70 professionals about the many different career options available to them. A great mix of professions were represented– from trades, to construction, to medical, to finance and much more!
We are so grateful to Alvernia University for hosting us on their beautiful campus. A special thank you goes to the middle school counseling team for their leadership of this important event.
