💼 Did you know that one of our ESL classes is called Career Exploration?
In this class, students learn English while also learning important skills that help them prepare to get a job in the USA. A special part of this class is our guest speakers, who visit and share information about different career opportunities.
In these photos, you can see Melissa Epps visiting our Bridge class and talking with students about the Pharmacy Technician career path and the opportunities available in this field.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with our students!
