Yesterday, a variety of teams from the City of Wapakoneta headed over to the Wapakoneta City Schools Career Fair to meet with some fantastic students. It was a great day of sharing what we do and showing the kids that they don’t have to look far to find a meaningful career path. We loved seeing their curiosity about how our city runs and hope it sparked some excitement about the possibility of serving their own community right here at home in the future!
