Thousands of students explored careers in New Orleans on Tuesday. About 3,300 students! The annual YouthForce NOLA + Junior Achievement Career Expo welcomed groups in the maritime industry to share careers.
RiverWorks Discovery took part and helped to gather industry partners to create a collaborated effort in drawing attention and interest to the maritime industry.
Students could throw down with the Maritime Throwdown, look at firefighting jobs along the river, and learn from mariners. It's important that we keep up an effort to collaborate as an industry to bring interest to our nation's rivers.
Creating these engaging experiences for students helps to bring understanding and connection. That helps industry and rivers as a whole.
Thank you to Frank McCormack from the Waterways Journal and Art Yves from Associated Terminals for the photos.
