Our 8th grade students had an exciting day exploring all the Career & Technical Education programs offered at State Fair Community College! 🎓🔧

From practicing how to safely use a drill to learning how to work with a roofing holster, students got hands-on experience and a real look into future career paths. We love seeing their curiosity grow as they try new skills and discover new opportunities! 🌟

A huge thank-you to SFCC for providing such an engaging, interactive experience for our students!
