摘要：	Hinds Community College in Vicksburg, Miss., hosted a Who Works the Rivers (WWR) career discovery day February 11, with about 150 high school juniors and seniors from five area schools attending to learn about opportunities available to them in the maritime industry. Who Works the Rivers is a program of Dubuque, Iowa-based RiverWorks Discovery. The Vicksburg event was RiverWorks Discovery's first WWR of the year and just the second in-person event since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Besides Hinds Community College, other partners and sponsors of the February 11 event included Golding Barge Line, Yazoo River Towing, Big River Shipbuilders, Magnolia Marine, the U.S. Coast Guard, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Associated Terminals and Turn Services. Students had the opportunity to visit seven stations, which included line throwing, a safety station, Coast Guard and Corps boats and representatives, a welding demonstration and a commodities station. Also while at Hinds, students heard an overview of the maritime industry, with both in-person and recorded presentations. Errin Howard, program director for RiverWorks Discovery, said, while not all 150 students will enter the maritime field, it was evident that the event connected strongly with many attendees.
