VouthForce NOLA, an organization dedicated to building bridges between school and work for New Orleans students, and Junior Achievement of Greater New Orleans hosted a career expo March 7 at the University of New Orleans' Lakefront Arena. In all, some 3,300 underclassmen representing more than 20 high schools from throughout Orleans Parish attended the event. Supporting YouthForce NOLA and Junior Achievement at the career expo were more than 60 companies, agencies, training groups and schools. The event focused on four target industry clusters: business services, digital media and information technology (IT), health sciences and skilled crafts. And while students were, no doubt, already quite familiar with many of the career paths on display at the event-like those in IT, business and the medical field-they also had ample opportunity to discover careers awaiting them in the maritime industry. |
