Students from all three high schools in Marshall County, MCHS, Forrest and Cornersville, filled the halls and classrooms of the Columbia State Community College Lewisburg campus on Wednesday, March 11 to hear and learn about careers and the paths to achieve them.The day began with a Workforce Panel where students heard from John Hiers, HR Manager of Meiwa Industry North America, Connie Lentz, HR Generalist for Marshall Medical Center and Luke Buckley, Senior VP of First Commerce Bank. The three panelists outlined their careers, the types of employees their companies are seeking and the educational levels to succeed in their fields and companies.
