Aiming to empower young women to explore a variety of careers that are traditionally male-dominated, Jacksonville Job Corps Center hosted its first ‘Women’s Career Day,’ for attendees to have the opportunity to choose a vocational path instead of college. Interested candidates met and networked with industry professionals, learned about job opportunities in nontraditional occupations, while gaining valuable insights into the skills and education required for these careers.
“We pride ourselves on offering vocational programs for students that are looking for other options. We are here to stay,” said Joann Manning Duval County Jacksonville Job Corps Business and Community Liaison.
