On Oct. 9, approximately 500 local high school freshmen from the four Dubois County school corporations embarked on a day-long “Tour of Opportunity” to visit local businesses and learn about potential careers within the county.

Dubois REC provided our facility to the Builders Association of Dubois County to showcase various careers within the construction and trades fields. The students spoke to professionals in several different trades including plumbing, electrical, framing and masonry. They also spent time with a lending officer from a local bank, as well as a professional designer who shared information on various careers in architecture and interior design.
