We will be taking our eighth graders to the IHCC 8th Grade Career Day on Friday, October 25 at
Indian Hills Community College in Ottumwa. This day is designed to assist in career
pathway exploration and 4-year planning for our students. Students will have the
opportunity to explore various career options; learn what the job entails, opportunities in
the area of interest, and the education/certification requirements.
This is an important day for students to continue high school and post-high school
planning. We encourage you to discuss different career options and work roles with your
8th grader. Tell him/her what you do and why it is important. Your conversations and
interactions regarding career education and decision-making is a powerful influence.
