Today we kicked off the first of four Workforce Wednesdays! A professional development series for teachers and staff grades 6-12. The goal is to create connections between schools and local businesses in Caldwell County. This first Workforce Wednesday focused on County Government employment at the DHHS Building in Lenoir along with the Sheriff's office and the new Animal Care Office. After those tours we went to CCC&TI for lunch and then a review of the the educational programs available in health care. It was a very busy day for all, but everyone went away saying it was both educational and enlightening. Now they can go back to the classrooms and tell everyone what they saw and did!
