On Oct. 8, approximately 500 local high school freshmen from the four Dubois County school corporations embarked on a day-long “Tour of Opportunity.” During the event the students visited local businesses to learn about potential career opportunities within the county.

Dubois REC provided our facility to the Builders Association of Dubois County to showcase various careers within the construction and trades fields. The students were given the opportunity to learn about several trades including plumbing, electrical, framing, and masonry.

Students also spent time with a lending officer from a local bank, as well as a professional designer who presented opportunities in architecture and interior design.
