Just as ABD reported on North Augusta’s presentation for bridging the gap between business needs through apprentice programs, comes an expo sponsored by the Columbia County Chamber Foundation and the Columbia County School District. The goals for both are very aligned with CSRA employment needs.
The expo focuses on exposing parents and students to career opportunities for the future. The initiative will align the educational, technical, and trade sectors with the businesses, showing parents and students the pathways to obtain a future quality career. Each company will list the main careers needed for the future and include the education, skills, or certificates needed to be employed by their company. The company will also list the benefits and salary ranges expected to be paid for each type of position. The goal is to show a true path from high school to a future career, whether that includes a four-year university, a technical college or trade school, or directly going into the workforce, it’s a road to a future career.
The 5th Annual Columbia County Career and College Expo will be held Thursday, March 6, from 4:00 pm until 7:00 pm at the Columbia County Exhibition Center, 212 Partnership Drive, in Grovetown.
More than 25 businesses are participating in the expo, including the Georgia Cyber Center, Augusta University Health, Greenbrier Vet Services, and SRP Federal Credit Union. For more information and to register, click here.
