Getting a glimpse of the future at the Tallassee High School College and Career Day

Cliff Williams / TPI Central Alabama Community College brought several staff to help show students electronics and more. The school wanted to highlight all the classes and certificates it has available.

Students at Tallassee High School got an opportunity to imagine what careers might look like for them through a College and Career Day Friday.

It’s the first time an event like this has been held since before the COVID-19 pandemic and it had 25 businesses, industries and colleges turn out with seniors, juniors and select sophomores visitings booths. It was the vision of Tallassee City Schools career coach Phillip Nelson to revamp the visit from area employers and schools.
