Students at Alliance Middle School took part in the very first Career Cafe this week! The Career Cafes allow students at Alliance Middle School and Alliance High School to learn about different career fields from guest speakers.
This week, Renato Camacho visited to talk to the students about his position as the CEO and President of the Akron-Canton Airport.
