Dr. Benjamin L. Hooks Job Corps Center Career Preparation Period and Medical Office Support students attended the Olive Branch Chamber of Commerce Business Expo. Students used the opportunity to practice their interviewing skills, and to ask questions about career opportunities. As an assignment, they were required to obtain business cards from five different businesses, and later provide information about these businesses to others in their respective classes. Medical Office Support Instructor Ayeisha Huqq, Business Community Liaison Judy Roberts, and Career Exploration Period Instructor Sandy Williams also attended the expo to build relationships with employers. Staff from various participating businesses complimented students on their behavior and expertise.
