Representatives in attendance ranged from Publix and C.W. Matthews to the U.S. Air Force, Cobb County Fire and Emergency Services, and many more. This event is part of the continued commitment to preparing students for success after graduation.
The career fair was designed to give students a broad perspective on potential career paths and the skills needed to succeed in various fields. By interacting with professionals from these diverse organizations, students gained insights into different industries, learned about job requirements, and explored various educational opportunities.
The Cobb Adult Education Center not only focuses on academic achievements but also places a strong emphasis on real-world readiness. This career fair exemplifies the center's dedication to equipping students with the tools they need to transition smoothly from education to employment. The presence of local and national employers underscores the strong community ties and support for student development within Cobb.
