COLERIDGE — The Laurel-Concord-Coleridge Middle School hosted a Middle School Career Fair for the 7th/8th grade students on Wednesday, March 26 at the Middle School Gymnasium.
The 7-8 grade students have been traditionally going over career exploration with the school guidance counselor, Alan Gottula, at the end of February and in their Careers portion of the Financial Literacy exploratory course.
In that course, Gottula provides career instruction for our seventh grade students two times/week.
The following individuals/businesses came to the middle school and had a booth/table for students to come to and ask questions about various career opportunities: Rod Benson – Welding; Jacie Burbach – Insurance Services; Arianne Conley – Nursing; Kayla Detlefsen – Graphic Design; Melissa Graham – Cosmetology; Dan Hansen – Diesel Mechanics; Ashley Promes – School Psychology; Jordan Janssen – Agriculture Services; Andrea Johnson – Physical Therapy; Larry Koranda – Law Enforcement; Mike Nelson – Construction; Judy Kvols – Pre-School/Day Care Provider; Joel Lipp – Diversified Agriculture; Craig Lordemann – Electrician/ Plumbing; Erica Mogensen – Speech Language Pathology; Kevin Nordby/Trista Erwin – Banking Services; Mark Patefield – Pastoral Services; Brandi Settje – Counseling Services; Semi Truck/CDL Driver – Larry Carlson; Physical Trainer – Nicole Dennis; Military Services – Shane Kinkaid; Scott Rath – Investment Services; Sue Koch – Teaching/Coaching; Scott/ Christy Taylor – Restaurant/Food and Beverage Industry.
The event helped stress to the students that there are many career opportunities for them to pursue right here in the communities and to promote a strong understanding of some of the careers that are out there for them to explore.
