Jordan Academy for Technology and Careers (JATC) students joined fellow high school and college students from around the Salt Lake valley at Salt Lake Community College for “We Build Utah.” The career exploration and job fair provided students with hands-on examples of careers in construction, architecture, interior design, engineering, and other related fields.
Students laid bricks, piloted a backhoe, and met with potential future employers during the day. Dozens of companies were on hand to answer questions about their industries, take resumes, and conduct on-the-spot interviews for summer jobs and internships.
Thanks to Salt Lake Community College for hosting the event, and all the companies that gave their time to educate Jordan District students on the breadth of careers available to them!
