LIMA, OH (WLIO) - Junior high students from Lima City Schools learned what it takes to get certain careers.
Seventh and eighth graders from South Science and Technology Magnet and Liberty Arts Magnet invited people from a variety of professions to learn about their jobs. The students had to prepare questions ahead of time to get a better understanding of what they needed to do over the next few years to start down that career path.
"It's just a great opportunity to gain exposure to the different careers that are available to us. There's a lot of different people with a lot of different amazing professions here, like arts-related, business, law, healthcare. There is a nail tech here. There is just a lot of great stuff here," says Paige Sullivan, an 8th grader at Liberty Arts Magnet. "Time flies by really quickly, and before we know it, we will be looking for a career. And this is just a great way to gain knowledge about what is out there."
Around 20 different career professionals were on hand to talk to the students about their jobs.
