Year: 2023

Career Ambassadors are Henrico County Public Schools high school students who share their career and technical education experiences and connect career exploration to prospective students and community stakeholders throughout the school year. These students attend elementary and middle school career fairs, conduct elementary classroom lessons, meet and greet prospective technical education students, families and special guests, and assist in community relations when needed. They serve as role models to their peers and demonstrate leadership, academic achievement and technical skills. The purpose of the Career Ambassadors program is to promote career and technical education programming throughout the school division while developing leadership skills and preparing these high school seniors for the world of work.
