Seven boys and girls from Pocahontas County learned about the world of work last week at Jackson’s Mill, where they attended career awareness and career exploration camps.
Participants from this county include: Jimmy Dilley, Donna Galford, Mike Hollandsworth, Jeanie McCarty, Terry Sharp, Diane Shifflett and Jimmy Smith.
For the second year, a special career awareness camp is being conducted for seventh and eighth graders. Concentrating on self-understanding, the younger boys and girls will participate in group and individual counseling sessions and explore the following topics: who am I? relationships with others: looking ahead to a career; appearance; making decisions; attitudes in the world of work; and the relationship between high school subjects and occupations…
