Hamilton County Schools opened a new middle school field trip location Tuesday where district students will have the opportunity to try hands-on activities tied to different occupations.
The Career Exploration Center, at the Franklin-Roberts Future Ready Center in downtown Chattanooga, will initially serve sixth grade students through interactive exhibits and career simulations, according to a Hamilton County Schools press release.
The center can serve up to 60 students at a time across 15 activity stations, according to Future Ready Students Director Olivia Bagby. After Tuesday’s ribbon-cutting, she said students are expected to rotate through the stations in groups of four throughout the day.
“Our goal for every student is for them to find their career,” she said.
