The Sioux City School District’s Career Academy has developed a variety of paths for students to get a headstart on training for various future jobs.
One of the newest pathways is in agriculture.
West High School senior Maggie Irish is a metro student who is taking the pathway:
OC……..learn more about that. ;13
Irish says she will take that interest to college with her to pursue an ag-related career:
OC……………..experience and opportunity. :18
Mike Naig, the Iowa Secretary of Agriculture, says the Sioux City Career Academy helps students understand that there are a lot of jobs to fill in the ag world that do not involve working on a farm:
OC……..into the future. :22
Naig spoke with Irish and other students and toured the Career Academy on Wednesday.
