Central Elementary students celebrate career day
CARTER COUNTY, Tenn. (WJHL) — Students at Central Elementary School in Carter County got a glimpse into their futures at the second annual career day.
Second grader Caelin Holzclaw confidently took the microphone, looked into the camera, and read the news.
'Local business owners say they're seeing some effects from traffic and they're doing what they can to keep the doors open,' she said.
Holzclaw is one of 250 students who took part in the event, a chance for kindergarten through eighth-grade students to get introduced to different career fields.
Teacher Chelsea Anderson started the program in 2024 to give students a chance to see different jobs in person.
In all, 14 different businesses, industries, and organizations took part in career day.
