Job kiosks bring opportunities to Tuscaloosa County high schools
September 16, 2024
High school students in Tuscaloosa County have easier access to job opportunities thanks to interactive kiosks installed in every school, according to a WBRC 6 News report.
The kiosks, part of the IGNITE jobs program, provide students with a comprehensive list of local businesses hiring individuals their age. From restaurants and grocery stores to hospitality and manufacturing, the kiosks offer a variety of job options.
"It's a lot of those types of jobs, but we also have more high-paying jobs where kids can get involved in apprenticeships," Donny Jones, with West Alabama Works, told the news outlet. "And so you've got programs like at Mercedes-Benz through modern manufacturing that students can apply for."
The Tuscaloosa County Commission contributed $75,000 to fund the purchase and installation of the job kiosks.
