Don't Miss Our Community Forum
Topic: Career Readiness
|
|
The Wilson School District will be holding a Community Forum on Tuesday, October 26 beginning at 6 pm in the boardroom.
This Forum is designed to start the conversation with our community about the skills and knowledge that we would like all students to obtain prior to graduating from Wilson.
We want to hear from leaders in our community what they are looking for when they hire a new employee. As a district, we want to identify those common characteristics and develop an action plan to help our students become more career ready as they prepare to take their next step after graduation.
Please join us to be part of this important conversation!
