“Technology is the way of the future. Learning a programming language is like learning a foreign language — it increases critical thinking skills, creativity, and flexibility of mind and the best part it can lead to a lucrative career. Learn to code/program no matter what your other interests — it will change your future.

““Career Discoveries represents a great collaboration between the chamber, higher education, the K-12 public school system, and private sector business partners. This combined approach ensures students will have access to the best information possible about the many interesting, high-paying, career opportunities just ahead within our community,”
