Do what you love! Isn’t that what they always say? Sometimes it’s hard to figure out what that is though, especially as a teen. And so, the idea of the Career Fair was inspired. On Tuesday, February 23rd from 6:45-9pm, Christian Heritage Home Educators of Wilmington (CHHEW) is sponsoring their 2nd Annual Career and College Fair.
At this event, homeschoolers (7-12th grade and their families) are invited to come and attend 4 sessions, learning about various careers. Professionals from throughout Clinton County will talk about their chosen career field, sharing what they love about their job, what it takes to do well in that field, and what degrees or certifications may be necessary. Teens will be encouraged as they gain first-hand knowledge about a variety of occupations. The evening will inspire students to continue to learn and decide which vocation may be a good fit for them.
In addition, Cedarville University, Chatfield College, Hobart Institute, Sinclair Community College, and Southern State Community College will be in attendance to share information about their programs.
Parents may attend their own sessions this year, gathering information about homeschooling the high school years, finding financial aid and scholarships for college, the college application process, and College Credit Plus.
The event will be held Tuesday, February 23rd at Calvary Baptist Church, 1920 State Route 22/3 West, Wilmington, Ohio. The cost is $3 for families that are members of CHHEW/ $6 for non-CHHEW families. You must register for the event by February 19th, 2016.
