Fire Science students "suit up" with assistance from members of the Bartow Fire Department at last year's Workforce Education Expo. The expo, scheduled this year for Nov. 6 and 7, showcases the Polk County School District's career programs.
On Nov. 6 and 7, more than 150 booths will fill the Lakeland Center, showcasing Polk County’s Career Academies and workforce programs. The WE3 expo brings community focus to these popular options on the educational menu.
Some of the district’s career students move on to college in their chosen field; some to specialty colleges, such as for information technology; and some go straight into the workforce.
