LAUNCH Flagstaff Update: Career Exploration + Plus

The stay-at-home orders aren’t holding back the partners of LAUNCH Flagstaff in advancing world-class education for every child.  We are also using media technology in collaboration with our educational partners to help middle and high school students explore potential career and educational pathways.

Learn more about that and a couple other education things that caught our interest.

Be well,

Paul Kulpinski,
Partnership Director

In each session, students learn about the industry, what they do on a day-to-day basis, and the education and training they needed to enter that field.  Most importantly, students can have their questions answered live!
