Highlighting the Business Retention and Expansion (BRE) work in Adams County by the Adams County Development Council. Through our Career Showcase events, we bring our employers to our students, showcasing and highlight these employers and their career opportunities to their future workforce. Our students everywhere, both rural and urban, are often unaware of professional opportunities available to them locally. Different career paths exist at our businesses other than their traditional or assumed role. The age-old question of “What do you want to be when you grow up?” needs to be replaced by “Where do you want to be when you grow up?” Exposing students to the multitude of career options available right here in Adams County and our neighboring communities is the best way to inspire them to stay, creating a workforce pipeline for our employers, and ensuring the longevity of our local economy!
