{"A":"York County School Division","B":"Middle School Virtual Career Fair and Expo ","C":"A priority at York County School Division is student career readiness.  Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the traditional in-person career fair held during previous years was not possible.  Instead of cancelling the event, YCSD division and school staff moved to a virtual format to replicate the in-person event.  The shift to virtual turned out to be a big success!  Over 1,100 students participated in the Virtual Career Fair and Expo.  Students engaged in activities such as interest surveys, virtual tours, and career videos.  The career fair provided information about job opportunities from local companies and military representatives.  Students heard about a “day in the life” of a career from our EngagedIN YCSD community partners.  Finally, students learned about career pathways and clusters available at the middle and high schools from YCSD career coaches.  Student feedback was positive and YCSD plans to continue to use virtual options to highlight career opportunities.
