2024 Green Career Symposium
In April 2024, the PRCC hosted its successful 2024 Green Career Symposium. With nearly 150 grade 7-12 students from Ross L Gray and Shevchenko schools, this year’s event took a “green” spin with Susan Lindsay of Climate Change Connection as our guest speaker. Exhibitors shared their green advantages and environmentally focused career choices and summer jobs that are available in this region.
