2027 Spring Forward
CALLING ALL JONES COUNTY INDUSTRY PARTNERS!!
Join the EDA of Jones County's Career Coaches for their annual event, Spring Forward Career Expo! This event allows 11th and 12th graders to explore career and educational pathways in our community by visiting interactive industry booths.
Each industry vendor will set up their booth to reflect a day-in-the-life of your business. Previous vendors have created games to help students understand the types of careers at their business, organized quick activities to help students determine if they would be a good fit for that career, or displayed equipment and PPE (and even brought in company vehicles!) to further explore that industry's standard and aid students in their career search.
Please reach out to Collyn Leggett if you have any questions about the event!
