College & Trade School Fair/Career Exploration at JCHS

The Daniel Boone Community Action Agency is inviting local businesses to introduce students to career fields and give them a better idea of what those jobs involve. Hands-on activities are encouraged but certainly not required. We’d especially love for businesses to bring something students can see, touch, or try! For example:

• EMT: demonstrate CPR using a training mannequin.

• Healthcare: show equipment used on the job, such as a stethoscope or blood pressure monitor.

• Phlebotomy/Lab: demonstrate a blood draw using a training arm or show blood collection tubes.

• Pharmacy: demonstrate pill counting using beads and a counting tray.

• Banking/Financial: demonstrate counting play money or lead a simple budgeting activity.

• Dentist: use a tooth model to demonstrate brushing and flossing.

• Physical Therapy: demonstrate resistance bands or simple movement exercises.

• Manufacturing: bring examples of products, tools, or equipment used on the job.

We’d also love for students to learn what training or education is needed, whether that’s a certification, apprenticeship, trade school, two-year degree, or another pathway. The goal is to help students discover careers they may not have considered and understand how they could get started. Your participation would help connect what students are learning in school with real-world career opportunities in the community.
