Annual B.I.T.E. Day
Sponsored by Hinds Community College
Tech Prep
Each fall, since 1993, students from
local public, private, and parochial
schools in the metro area, gather to
learn about career possibilities. The
program, called
Business/Industry/Teaching/Exchange
(B.I.T.E.) Day, was piloted with the
Jackson
Public School
District’s eight high
schools, Career Development
Center, and business
leaders.
The program is a student-centered
approach to career education and is
sponsored by the Greater Jackson Chamber
Partnership’s Education Committee.
B.I.T.E. Day gives selected tenth and
eleventh grade students first-hand
experience in exploring career
opportunities that await them in the
near future.
Host sites are currently being selected
so interested companies should contact
Kellye Smith at (601) 948-7575 to find
out how they can get involved.
Volunteers and sponsors are also needed.
