A career-exploration event for high school students in Clark and Champaign counties was held at the Hollenbeck Bayley Conference Center, according to the Springfield News-Sun. The Greater Springfield Partnership hosted Healthcare Discovery Day in collaboration with the Champaign County Educational Service Center.
The program gave students a chance to move through stations, complete a scavenger hunt and meet local healthcare employers and post-secondary education partners during a career fair. The report identifies Kaitlyn Tyler, the Greater Springfield Partnership’s talent and education coordinator, as one of the people explaining the event’s purpose. It also names Cheryl Poppel, a YouScience navigator at Northeastern Local Schools, and Paul Bechtel, a YouScience navigator at Greenon High School.
