Students learned about career tech opportunities from those in the field as well as career tech directors and instructors.
Students were given the chance to try out many of the career tech options through hands-on activities led by LBW career tech directors and instructors.
The industry “worlds” included Agriculture/Agribusiness, Automotive Technology, Construction, Education, Health Services, Manufacturing, Professional Services, Public Services, Utilities, and Transportation and Logistics.
The WOW West committee extended a special thank you to LBWCC for all of the student volunteers who helped set up and tear down at the event.
