CLINTON, Iowa – The Accelerate Iowa Program will host a Test Drive Careers event showcasing various jobs for teens and young adults ages 14-24 on Wednesday, Oct. 4, at the Clinton Advancement Center, 1951 Manufacturing Drive, Clinton.
Admission is free for the event, which will run 2:30-6:30 p.m. and include free pizza and beverages.
Attendees will have the opportunity to step into the shoes of professionals from various fields through interactive simulators. It’s designed to provide attendees with a hands-on experience of what different careers entail, helping them make informed decisions about their future.

Whether you’re a high school student considering your future path, or a young adult looking to explore new career possibilities, ‘Test Drive’ Careers is the perfect opportunity to gain valuable insights.”
