Students in Orion Oaks Upper El got a chance to get up close and personal with the automobile industry last Friday.
The school hosted an Automotive Career Day. Parents and community members were invited to come in and share information with the kids about their careers.
The special day was to kick off a social studies unit titled Michigan in the National and Global Economy.
Teachers thought a Career Day would be a fun and interesting way to get the students thinking about the automotive industry. The students got to see the divirsity of careers available to both men and women and to see the importance of the automotive industry in Michigan’s economy.
