Freshmen from Cass Lake-Bena High School explored career paths at Northwest Technical College on Dec. 2 as part of their career pathways program. Students were at NTC campus from 10:45 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. where they learned about automotive, building trades, business, childcare and health and human services programs.

“The students will be choosing their career pathway for the next year and we get to help them see how education aligns to employment,” Darrin Strosahl, vice president of academic affairs at NTC, said.

Strosahl and other staff members welcomed the students and provided a brief presentation as students arrive.
