Today, 8th graders attended the Junior Achievement of the Eastern Shore's "JA Inspire" event at the Wicomico County Youth & Civic Center. The event is the largest JA Inspire in the history of the Eastern Shore.
Hosted by the Maryland Grain Producers Utilization Board, it featured over 130 exhibitors from across Delmarva including TidalHealth, Chesapeake Utilities, Whiting Turner, NASA, and many more.
The event also featured colleges, universities, apprenticeship programs, trade schools, and internships so students could get information on pursuing their educational and career goals.
