6th graders had a blast today at the Onaway Museum and MiCareerQuest Northeast MI! Onaway Museum members gave a presentation about the history of the city and a tour of their museum. Afterwards students dived into hands-on career activities at the MiCareerQuest; ranging from heavy equipment, manufacturing, technology, healthcare, law enforcement, and more. The purpose of the MiCareerQuest is to create awareness of the rewarding jobs available in northeast Michigan, many of which have a talent shortage today and are anticipated to have even greater demand in the future.
