Students are exposed to various career options in a hands-on environment allowing them to make an informed decision for their future. Each session includes experiential activities, discussions, and presentations led by professionals in their respective fields. Students are encouraged to ask question about higher education, certification, and training requirements that are necessary to qualify them for different careers. Any youth wishing to take advantage of this opportunity can register online at www.fyca.org/career-exploration-information-2/.
