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. The students learned that an airport is like a small city and holds many of the same job opportunities. Airports need lawyers, engineers, maintenance staff and many more to ensure everything runs smoothly. Students will have the opportunity to take part in more Career Cafes in the future! #RepthatA
