The three groups are broken down as follows: agricultural education, technology, and engineering education in the first group; health sciences and technology in the second group; and family and consumer sciences, business, marketing, and computer education in the last group.
“Career Days provides a great opportunity for high school students to visit RLC’s programs and technical labs,” said Lori Ragland, Dean of Community and Corporate Education. “Students always enjoy spending the day on campus with their friends and participating in the different hands-on activities. They will explore several career clusters to assist with selecting their program of study.”Rend Lake College President Terry Wilkerson welcomed more than 400 area high school students to the Ina campus last year for Career Days.
