Partnership hosts 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.
