The Juniors and Seniors at Eastern High School have been exploring their future career options this week. On Wednesday, September 11th, the Juniors and Seniors attended the Ohio Means Jobs Career Fair at the Meigs County Fairgrounds. The students met many wonderful people who introduced them to multiple career options such as the electrician union, carpentry union, nursing, law enforcement, and environmentalist jobs. Representatives from the University of Rio Grande, Ohio University, and Buckeye Hills Career Center were also there to give information to students about programs offered at their schools.
On Thursday, September 12th, the Juniors and Seniors went to the Athens ODOT to explore careers that are available through the Ohio Department of Transportation. Students explored many career opportunities for jobs such as bridge construction, environmentalist careers, snow plow operators, and other engineering based occupations. Students had an amazing time using the snow plow simulator, holding a snake, driving remote control vehicles, learning about drones, and all the other options available to them at ODOT.
These career fairs are great opportunities for our students to explore their options for life after high school. We hope that many of the students learned about a career path they might want to take after graduation.
