MV students attended the first ever Wabaunsee County Career Exploration Fair today which highlighted many careers located here locally. The event was held in the KanEquip Arena in Alma, KS. The students got to speak with the present employers to learn about viable & feasible professions of interest, & to learn about careers they did not know existed in local Wabaunsee County area. The students showed up dressed to impress & learned invaluable employability skills in the process. #MVcareers #MVfutures
