Showcasing business and industry

Littlejohn Coliseum is being prepared for the annual Anderson-Oconee-Pickens Business and Industry Showcase. The two-day event starts at 9 in the morning when students and invited guests get the chance to sample career choices available in the Upstate. Beyond all else, the showcase serves as a way to help young people understand the decisions that they need to make now to thrive in their future lives. Last year more than 5,500 eighth and ninth graders from the three counties were exposed to 52 organizations representing both large and small firms.
