Students enjoy mini career fair

On Oct. 15, students at St. Mary of the Assumption Catholic School took part in a Mini Career Fair at their school. Student ambassadors from Vantage Career Center came to the school and demonstrated how they used science, technology, engineering, and math in their respective career schools.

St. Mary’s students were treated to presentations in the careers of welding, computer network systems, health technology, precision machining, electricity and carpentry.

Young students need additional exposure to careers that use science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) and these Mini Career Fairs demonstrate in a short amount of time how STEM skills are used in local jobs.  These demonstrations are often a “spark” to get students started talking about the kinds of things they like to do and what interests them.
