Through events like these we are opening doors for students and creating awareness about the diverse career paths that exist within Springfield and Clark County,” said Kendra Burnside, Talent and Education Coordinator for the Greater Springfield Partnership. Thank you to Kelcie for sharing her story and answering student questions.”
