Hope High School students taking part in OBU Talent Search attended Career & College Day at OBU and HSU. There were over 25 employers in the building for the students to visit with. Students enjoyed visiting the Workforce Mobile Truck. The students took part in an activity allowing them to choose a career they would like to pursue which provided them with an income and expenses. Some students said," I must choose another career so I can afford to life". The tour at HSU was great with lots of walking and information. Each student came back with lots of valuable information on how to enter the workforce, how to enter college, and a t-shirt from HSU. Lunch was provided by OBU on their campus. It was a great opportunity and eye opener for the students!
