The Culpeper County Schools in collaboration with the Culpeper Chamber of Commerce and Career Partners, Inc hosted the 2013 Career Expo on Friday. Approximately 900 students from the 10th and 12th grades had an opportunity meet with local business professionals regarding career opportunities in 14 fields of interest. There were over 50 business professionals representing more than 30 businesses that made time to invest in our future workforce. The collaboration of Education, Government, and Business in Culpeper is unique, inspiring students to academic excellence.

There are many to thank. First the educators and the “Storm Team” were at Eastern View High School until 9 PM setting up for the event on Thursday evening. The “Blue Team” was engaged to develop the complex schedule enabling the students to visit four businesses during their session. The Year Book staff were taking pictures of the event. The logistics and extra time involved in coordinating the program involved many. Thank you to the all school administrators involved in coordinating a smooth and effective program.

Tthe businesses devote several employees during the workday and their effort is significant. We are fortunate to have businesses dedicated to education. I would like to extend a big thank you to the following businesses for their participation:
