Representatives from businesses in Vance County led presentations to high school sophomores as part of the “Life Skills Day” events held at Early College, Northern Vance, Southern Vance and Western Vance high schools on November 6 and 13.

The business people visited classrooms and talked with students about how to successfully seek a job and go through a job interview. The business experts used their own experiences to offer the students helpful information.
