Mrs. Joedeman and a small group of students traveled to North Platte today to participate in MPCC's Job Fair. The fair consisted of over 40 businesses that are actively seeking employees in the fields of transportation, HVAC, welding, mechanics, security, and much more. The group heard about interships, apprenticeships, tuition reimbursement, and on-the-job training. They were given opportunities to visit with potential employers about jobs for both now and after high school. This was great exposure for our students!
