High school students have endless career opportunities ahead of them – and many leading industries are represented right here in Dubuque.

But, it’s hard to know what possibilities exist without learning more. That’s where Business After School comes in – a FREE three-day event that creates experiential and work-based learning opportunities for students, educators and teachers in the high-demand job sectors of advanced manufacturing, emergency services, engineering, healthcare, auto/diesel, IT/computer science, hospitality, social/interactive and general business.

On March 15, 16, 17 from 3-5 p.m., a variety of area businesses will offer interactive sessions to give students a look at their industry and give them tips on education and skills needed to enter the field.
