Muhlenberg County Middle School hosted the KHEAA Info Roadshow Bus today, giving eighth-grade students the opportunity to learn about career exploration and planning for their futures. Kevin Wilson, a KHEAA outreach counselor, led a presentation highlighting the three key components of a “good job”: the work you do, the environment you work in, and the pay you earn.
Wilson also discussed the education and credentials many careers require and shared information about ways to pay for higher education, including scholarships and Kentucky’s KEES (Kentucky Educational Excellence Scholarship) program. The visit helped students begin thinking about their goals and the steps they can take to reach them.
