Had a great time yesterday with two Jobs for North Carolina Graduates (JAG) classes at Rocky Mount High School. We used job cards from our booth kits and NCcareers to deep dive on some local careers in high demand. We did an employability skills activity from SkillsUSA North Carolina and shared information about opportunities through NCWorks Career Center, Rocky Mount and OIC of Rocky Mount. Thanks to Jamie Dunn from the Career Center for joining me, and to Ms. Wade for inviting us!
