The sixth annual Mountain Home High School Career Expo will be held Friday from 9 a.m. to 1:45 p.m. The event will be held in the hanger.
The career expo is an opportunity for high school students to experience exhibits and learn about future jobs existing in health, technical and trade careers. The annual event will showcase the area’s industries and the type of employment available through these organizations.
On a recent episode of Talk of the Town on KTLO-FM, school counselor Susan Gatewood says she has chased the Be Pro Be Proud mobile unit for some time and is excited about the opportunity it brings for students.

Be Pro Be Proud is an initiative led by the Associated Industries of Arkansas that is spearheading the movement to bring a new generation of pride, progress, and professionals to Arkansas’ skilled workforce.

As the current skilled workforce is at or near retirement age, Be Pro Be Proud hopes to change how Arkansans think about these job opportunities.
At the career expo, area businesses and schools will provide information on career trends to students and their families equipping them with the latest information about workforce demands and hiring trends, along with talent and skill preferences.
The career expo is open to seniors, juniors and sophomores, as well as their families.
Gatewood encourages the community to attend and experience what businesses have to offer.

Invitations have also been extended to other area school districts with Cotter and Flippin students planning to attend.
