Juniors and Seniors had the opportunity to attend the North Central Montana College/Career Fair in Conrad. Colleges, military, companies, and government agencies were there to answer questions about future opportunities for students after graduating high school. Students spent an hour exploring and gathering as much information as they could. I learned that if you want a job, there are many entities actively hiring!
