A career assessment tool is on the kiosk, which can help students figure out what they’re interested in.

The newest kiosk is at Conestoga Valley High School.

“We want to make sure that we have all the pathways open to our students and to the community at large,” Mel Upton, Administrator at Conestoga Valley School District, said. “So we made sure that with these kiosks they do have access to apprenticeship opportunities, to other work based learning opportunities such as internships and things like that. We have military, we have two year, four year college, we have different technical schools.”

The county hopes to have a kiosk installed in every high school.
