The trucks you saw behind Luxemburg-Casco Intermediate School were inspiring the next generation of workers during the district’s Careers on Wheels Day.

Over 1,300 students between the grades of 4K and 6th grade had the chance to learn about 18 different career paths from the public and private sectors. Students rotated every five to ten minutes to talk with firefighters, ambulance drivers, truck drivers, machine operators, and more about their jobs with their work vehicles standing in the background.

Fifth-grade teacher Hannah Lilly says it is a great opportunity for her students to see, not just hear about people’s jobs.

The event comes weeks after the Kewaunee County Economic Development Corporation sponsored Ag Career Days for students at Kewaunee, Algoma, Luxemburg-Casco, and other school districts in the area to learn about jobs available that are specific to the agriculture industry.
