OCTOBER 20, 2022 — On October 6th, Lyons MS eighth graders attended the Wayne Partnership Career Carnival. Students rotated through stations set up to show job opportunities in six career zones: Arts and Humanities, Business and Information Systems, Engineering and Technology, Health Services, Natural and Agricultural Sciences, and Human and Public Service.
Professionals from approximately 70 local businesses and higher education institutions brought hands-on activities and demonstrations in order to introduce fields to the students that they may not have considered before.
According to Wayne Partnership, the Career Carnival is intended to “reach out to students before they enter high school. We hope this will give them some direction and perhaps spark an interest in a field they may not have thought of before.”
Over 800 regional students were expected to attend the Career Carnival.
