Students searching for the answer to the big question of what career to pursue got some big help this week at MiCareerQuest 2018. The event at the Devos Place exhibit hall gave about 9,000 middle school and high school students hands-on opportunities to check out everything from running a robot to operating an ultrasound machine.
Students from several West Michigan school districts attended the fourth annual event, where representatives from area health, construction, manufacturing and information technology businesses talked to them about dozens of career choices in the area. Lured into displays by always-popular giveaways — this year surgical masks and sunglasses were big hits — students picked up a few freebies, but also came away with new ideas about their future career choices.
