Page High Schoolers Get Jump Start On Careers

Greensboro, NC -- Local students are getting hands-on training for their future careers.

They're part of the Electrical Trades Program at Page High School in Greensboro. Wednesday, students got a chance to work on wiring and electrical design projects.

After two course levels they can get certified which puts them one step closer to a job.

"[It's] a trade that we know is high skill, high wage, high demand, and the demand for careers in this area is only going to increase as we take a look at energy and the consumption of energy in the future," said Judy Harrington with the high school.

The students will have a career exploration fair Thursday at the Greensboro Coliseum from 4:00-7:30 pm.

Dozens of local businesses will be on hand to talk about skills needed for specific jobs.
