Over 1,500 7th grade students attended one of two half-day sessions for the first annual Career Exploration Day held at Hagerstown Community College (HCC).

The event was organized by GHC, HCC, Wash Co Public Schools, Wash Co Chamber of Commerce, OnTrack, and the WCPS Education Foundation. An additional eight corporate sponsors and over 30 volunteers took part in making the day a success, and Michael DiGiacomo, Executive Director for the Governor’s Workforce Development Board came up to observe the event and had many great things to say about the collaboration in our community.
