🍎EXPLORE MY FUTURE EVENT SIGN-UP🍎
The Martin County School District is partnering with our local Council of Chambers to allow our 8th graders to participate in the first “Explore My Future” event. This event will allow students to explore career opportunities offered by local businesses and organizations, which will hopefully give them an idea of what types of Career & Technical Education (CTE) programs they might want to pursue in high school.
Please click the link below if you or your business/organization are interested in participating in this career exploration experience with our students.
