Laura Munoz, a junior at Highlands High School in the Twin Rivers Unified School District, appears with LEED CEO David Butler, after receiving an iPad she won as a result of her “passport” being selected during a drawing at CareerGPS, a career exploration event hosted by LEED in October at Cal Expo. Butler presented Munoz with the prize during a meeting of the Twin Rivers USD board of trustees. During her comments to the board, Munoz noted, “CareerGPS was a great experience. It opened my eyes to a bunch of careers I didn’t even know existed. I would definitely recommend all students attend CareerGPS if possible.”
At Highlands, Munoz is a member of ASB, the Latino Club and MESA and hopes to attend UC Davis to pursue a career in human development.
Over 6,000 students from 61 schools in 14 districts from throughout the Capital Region attended CareerGPS, interacting with over 150 employer and post secondary exhibitors. CareerGPS was presented by the Associated General Contractors of California Education Foundation with grant support from the colleges of the Los Rios Community College District: American River, Cosumnes River, Folsom Lake and Sacramento City. The iPads were purchased thanks to a sponsorship from McDonald’s. For details from the October 13-14 CareerGPS event, click here.
