Not sure what you want to be when
you grow up? There are some people you need to talk to.
Tuesday was the second annual
Public Service Workshop, at the Charleston
Civic Center
U.S. Army Captain Brian Bolin said
the event allows teens to ask questions and get the answers they need to find
out if they’re interested.
“Just learning this stuff early on
is going to be super important for these young folks,” stressed Bolin. “The
fact that we have all these different organizations here to do presentations
and set ups to give this information to those individuals gives them something
to think about.”
Bolin said the Department of
Defense is cutting the ranks of soldiers in the field, but the Army is still
looking for a few good men and women.
“We are still recruiting at full
force. We haven’t cut any recruiters,” according to Bolin.
He explained its all about filling
these public service jobs in the future.
“We want to hire some of the young
and the brightest and make sure we have a qualified force.”
Several high schools were set to
participate in the Public Service Workshop. However, because of so many missed
school days due to weather and water concerns, some schools had to opt out of
the event.
