We had a great time last week at Van Duyn Elementary’s Career Fair!

Our C&S team—David Long and Jon Donahue—connected with students to explore the world of engineering, helping link what they’re learning in school to real careers in their community. They shared insights on skills, education, and the exciting opportunities ahead in the field. And they weren’t alone! From nurses and architects to chefs, teachers, and more, students got a firsthand look at a wide range of career paths.

Thanks to Van Duyn for having us—we love inspiring the next generation! 👏
