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 new, 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, engineering, healthcare, IT/computer science, and general business.
After school on February 3, 4, and 5, 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.
