On February 20, 2025, the Middle School Business and Finance Career and Technical Education (CTE) students took a field trip to experience a real-world hiring and career fair.
The County of Orange, in partnership with the City of Lake Forest and the Lake Forest Chamber of Commerce, hosted the students at the career fair, providing insight and practical knowledge on different careers and the hiring process. Additionally, the students attended a Youth Career Services workshop hosted by the City of Lake Forest.
CTE is a program of study that integrates core academic knowledge with technical and occupational knowledge to provide students with a pathway to postsecondary education and careers. OPA is proud to offer three pathways: Information Communication & Technology, Business & Finance, and Arts, Media & Entertainment.
