Summarize with

Arkansas' Jonesboro High School has installed a new "college kiosk" near its cafeteria exit to expose students to post-graduation opportunities. The display, developed by Salt Lake City–based company Next Grad, presents a rotating slideshow of information about universities, trade schools and military options, according to a Jonesboro Right Now report. The kiosk aligns with the Arkansas Department of Education's "Three E's" initiative: enrollment, enlistment or employment.

The school is the first institution in Northeast Arkansas to deploy the technology. School officials say the kiosk's purpose is to capture students' attention in a high-traffic area and spark interest in future career and educational paths, even when students are not actively seeking such information.
