Is your teen thinking about their future? Are they hands-on learners who thrive outside the traditional classroom? Then mark your calendars! The Adams County Education Consortium is hosting an Apprenticeship Fair on Tuesday, February 11, 2025, from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM at the Adams County Career Center (1717 W. 10th Street, Brighton). This isn't just another career day; it's a chance for your child to explore real-world opportunities and gain a significant advantage in the job market.
Imagine your teen meeting directly with local employers, discovering apprenticeships in exciting fields, and getting a firsthand look at what it takes to succeed. This fair offers a unique opportunity for them to explore career paths they might never have considered, all while still in high school.
Why should you bring your teen?
- Real-World Experience: Apprenticeships offer paid, on-the-job training, giving your teen invaluable experience that employers highly value. They'll learn practical skills and gain a competitive edge.
- Earn While They Learn: Forget racking up huge student loan debt. Apprentices often earn a paycheck while they're training, setting them up for financial stability.
- Direct Path to Employment: Apprenticeships often lead directly to full-time jobs, providing a secure and promising future for your child.
- Explore Career Options: This fair allows your teen to explore a variety of career paths in a hands-on way, helping them make informed decisions about their future.
- Workshops and Resources: Beyond meeting employers, your teen can attend workshops on career planning, financial aid, and job search skills – essential tools for success.
The Adams County Education Consortium, a partnership between local schools, colleges, and workforce centers, is dedicated to preparing students for successful careers. For more information, contact the Adams County Education Consortium at (303) 655-2255.
