Fifty high school students have been supplementing their learning this summer in a wide range of topics set to get them ready for adulthood. Teri Vos with the WorkSMART Connector says their organization was a partner for the Career Ready Collective. Sessions were held at Weiler Manufacturing and Central College, and featured lessons about mental and emotional wellness, financial advice, and workplace connectivity with local experts from area businesses and schools. Students from Pella, Knoxville, Bussey, Melcher-Dallas, Reasnor, Oskaloosa, Chariton, Monroe, Tracy, Prairie City, Harvey, Sully, Lynnville, and Otley applied and were accepted into the program.
