UIG was a proud corporate sponsor of the annual Teen CEO Day on Tuesday, November 7, 2017 at Winthrop University. UIG representatives attended the event to share with students, first hand, the many career possibilities at UIG, located within thirty miles of each of the schools represented.
4500 UPSTATE KIDS ATTEND TEEN CEO DAY!
Over 4,500 eighth grade students from Chester, Lancaster, and York Counties participated in Teen CEO (Career Exploration Opportunity) Day. It was an opportunity to learn about careers, companies, and industries that exist in their communities.
Students selected a career cluster to focus their time and attention on available jobs in their career field of interest. Then they encountered companies and careers at various exhibits, as well as heard from a career speaker.
