Representatives from area businesses are hosting various stations such as banking, life insurance, utility and child care costs, and health care.  Students will also have the opportunity to discuss their future career paths. Presentations will be given on work ethics, salary expectations, career choices and interview skills.

The students are also participating in “Real Life 101” where they are faced with real life experiences and tough decisions. The interactive game engages students in making life choices and budget decisions based on their career choice.  After completing the game, students discuss their decisions and what they learned.

The event is being held November 4 - 7 from 9:00 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.  Nine local high schools are participating this year—Daniel Boone, David Crockett, Dobyns-Bennett, DB Excel, Sullivan Central, Sullivan North, Sullivan South, Tennessee High and Volunteer.
