JA Career Bound Leads to Summer Employment Opportunities

After spending the past school year learning career skills, such as communication, presentation, teamwork while visiting leading industries and meeting employees and executives who share their career journeys, JA Career Bound graduates had the opportunity to put their developing skills to work. Select students participated in the JA Summer Employment Program and worked in companies across the County in paid positions in a number of disciplines, including social media, logistics, inventory control, human resources, etc. Amari Wilson shares her experience at KEMET and how JA Career Bound prepared her for the job:
