BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:
Change community church had a city wide youth workshop at Mill Creek Christian church. I’m Eric J. Dockery your Bakersfield neighborhood reporter. This event showed many youth members about multiple careers they can go into after high school.
Choosing a career path can be a difficult decision if you don’t know what’s out there, and what’s offered to you. Students constantly leave school and feel lost in the work force.
Dr. Gregory Tatum says “Brick layers, mechanics, plumbers, all these type of artisan jobs are slowly going away. Skill set jobs that are getting replaced by coding. We want our kids to understand you can still do those things in the past but innovate it. Young people now are making so much money on the internet leaning to do their own program.”
