Connecting the Dots
Lancaster County 4-H is offering local schools a full-day College & Career Readiness program for 9th & 10th graders!
In this statewide Nebraska 4-H program, students:
- Participate in a simulation to learn how their choices in high school impact their career path.
- Complete personality inventories to relate to careers.
- Talk with local industry experts and post-secondary education representatives.
- Learn work-readiness skills such as résumé building, networking and interviewing.
- Have fun learning together!
Schools have hosted this event in gymnasiums, auditoriums and classrooms. Students complete a career-cluster activity prior to attending and then work in teams of two or three based on career interest.
Cost is dependent on student count.
