The WHS Career Fair had more than 700 students who learned about career opportunities right in our region from more than 40 businesses at the inaugural Woodland Days Career Fair, a partnership between Woodland Public Schools and the Port of Woodland, to offer a career fair specifically designed for students considering living-wage careers after high school not necessarily requiring a college degree or additional education.
Eric Jacobsen did a nice write up about the event. The full story can be reviewed at https://www.woodlandschools.org/article/73713
Feedback from participating businesses was extremely positive, many committing to participating again next year. I’ve included the results of the survey for your review.

We also collected student feedback on the event by grade level. Their survey results are organized by grade level below. (Not included in the results are student comments about businesses they’d like to explore next year. As a result of their feedback we intend to expand the event significantly and specifically include companies and jobs they requested).
