We are proud to share that two of our incredible students participated in the Okaloosa County Educate the EducatorPlus One event in late November!
Alongside other talented students from Okaloosa County, they received a behind-the-scenes look at some amazing local businesses, including Magna Manufacturing, Kratos Defense, and Boeing.
This unique experience has provided our students with valuable insights into the local labor market and the opportunities available in our community.
A huge thank you to all the wonderful individuals and organizations for supporting our students and helping them learn more about the incredible members of our community!
