Students had the opportunity to learn more about trade career opportunities in a variety of fields, including law enforcement, engineering and even semi truck driving. Several simulators were available to give students a firsthand experience doing jobs such like welding or replacing fuses in a fuse box.
According to a press release from APS, “This began as an initiative by the APS Education Foundation’s student board members to provide their peers the same opportunity to experience career fairs as they do college fairs.”
