Career exploration was the theme Friday at Eagle Valley Middle School, with students being exposed to career ideas and engaging with local employers and employees who explained their pathways.
Students were able to rotate from different demonstrations throughout the experience, drawing questions from curious students about how career choices were made.
Among the presenters, NV Energy showcased their equipment, the Nevada Department of Wildlife had a booth as did Animal Ark, Carson City Sheriff’s Office also participated as well as many other great companies in our region.
Practitioner Erika Olivas-Walker, founder of Aurora Heart Healing, spent time with Eagle Valley Middle School students on sharing how personal passions and talents can become meaningful careers.
As a holistic health and wellness practitioner and sound healer, Erika introduced students to entrepreneurship while teaching simple techniques to regulate their emotions, calm their nervous systems, and find a little peace during a busy school day. Her message encouraged students to explore what they love, recognize their unique gifts, and imagine turning those passions into a fulfilling future.
