​Students from Dade, Walker, Catoosa, Whitfield, Murray, Fannin, and Pickens counties participated in the HSHT Northwest College and Career Fair. The Northwest College and Career Fair took place at the Dalton Convention Center in Dalton, GA on March 8, 2022. There were approximately 156 students in attendance. There were 33 employers and post-secondary institutions present. Some of the employers and post-secondary institutions that attended were the Dalton Chamber of Commerce, Amazon, Kroger, Lodge Cast Iron, Chick-Fil-A, Chattanooga Airport, Department of Natural Resources, Dalton Fire and Police Departments, Dalton State College, Chattahoochee Technical College, and Georgia Northwestern Technical College. The Dalton Chamber of Commerce spoke on the importance of soft skills when seeking employment. Many employers brought tools of their trade so that students could have a “hands on” experience while learning about different jobs. Teachers, students, employers, and post-secondary educators were very positive, and all felt that this event was very beneficial to all attending.
