County event organizers say career expo drew about 400 students
Summary
Speakers at the meeting reported that a recent career and education expo drew roughly 40 businesses, about 40 volunteers and about 400 students; organizers said public-service agencies engaged students and post-event surveys will be sent to participants.
Organizers told the Morrow County Board of Commissioners that a recent career and education expo was "very successful," attracting roughly 40 businesses, about 40 volunteers and approximately 400 students.
Speaker 3, who introduced the recap, said the event included multiple career paths — public service, health care, technology, skilled trades and agriculture — and noted strong county representation from the engineer's office, the sheriff's office, EMS and probation. Speaker 4 added that local cadet programs and public-service recruiters engaged students and promoted alternatives to four-year college.
Organizers acknowledged minor logistical issues — Speaker 3 said the event ran out of water — and said they will circulate surveys to guidance counselors and participating businesses to gather feedback and identify improvements for next year.
The remarks were presented as a report to the commissioners; no formal decisions or votes on the expo were recorded in the transcript.
