Phelps & Gosper County 4-H partnered with Nebraska Extension’s College & Career Readiness team and ESU #11 to provide the Nebraska 4-H Connect the Dots program to over 250 10th grade students on October 15 – 16 at the Ag Center in Holdrege, NE. 11 schools participated including Alma, Arapahoe, Axtell, Bertrand, Elwood, Eustis-Farnam, Franklin, Loomis, Minden, Southern Valley, & Wilcox-Hildreth. Prior to attending, each student completed a career assessment to identify their top two career clusters. During this program youth engaged in workshops highlighting personalities in the workplace and motivated skills. Youth also had the opportunity to engage with collegiate representatives from the Nebraska College of Technical Agriculture (NCTA), Central Community College (CCC), University of Nebraska Kearney (UNK), and the College of Agriculture Sciences & Natural Resources (UNL-CASNR) in addition to the US Army.
