Today, some of our seniors had the opportunity to gain hands-on experience and explore future career opportunities at Dozer Days! Students were able to connect with companies, learn about trade schools, operate equipment, and explore a variety of career paths. A big thank you to RootEd for helping provide opportunities like this for our students! Experiences like these help students discover their interests, explore options after graduation, and take steps toward their future careers. #ButlerBears #RootEd #CareerExploration #FutureReady
