Students and parents of Fresno, Calif. schools finally got a chance to celebrate vocational careers in the working trades at a career fair that offers an alternate to “college night” for students. “College is a choice,” say Jim Yovino, Fresno county schools superintendent, “We have to remember it is just one choice to success. The honorable work that people do with their hands … is also a great choice.” Participants at the career fair said it was important to overcome the misconception that vocational education is for students who are not bright enough for college.
