JOCO WORKS 2024 is in the books! 📚
For two days, eighth graders from each JCPS middle school attended the annual JOCO WORKS event. The annual event is an opportunity for eighth graders to experience different possible career paths right in their backyard that maybe they hadn't previously considered.
Industry partners such as Barnhill Construction, JoCo Grows Agriculture, and Johnston County Emergency Services were just a few of the more than 40 industries that provided hands-on activities for the students.
The students came away with excitement for their futures with many career options! 🌟
