High school students in Minneapolis had the chance during a week off from class to attend a virtual career fair designed to feel like a video game, popping into online booths to learn about jobs.
The activity was a part of the district s first College and Career Readiness Week as teachers take a break to prepare for in-person learning for secondary students, which will begin April 12. Derek Francis, the district s manager of counseling services, said events on postsecondary options are even more important for students this year.
