Yesterday was career day at North Posey High School. 7th through 12th grade students had the opportunity to get firsthand experience in the workforce. The morning started with presentations by real work professionals from organizations like Deaconess and AstraZeneca, but also carpenter groups, the Indiana Ready Mixed Concrete Association and Ragle Inc. construction group. The idea is to expose students to a wide variety of options for after graduation and also possible apprenticeships they can have while still in school. Towards the end of the day, juniors and seniors took part in a job fair, where they can learn more about specific jobs. The rest of the students got to see demonstrations from these organizations including a concrete pump and pour.
