COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KOAA) — On Thursday, thousands of kids across the U.S. will visit workplaces, according to Junior Achievement.
April 24 marks "Take a Child to Work Day and Beyond."
"Junior Achievement, which leads Take a Child to Work Day and Beyond, has expanded the program to give kids who can’t visit a parent’s workplace for one reason or another the flexibility to experience a visit at other times throughout the year," part of a news release from Junior Achievement reads. "Through experiential learning, students gain confidence and inspiration about choosing a career, learn what it’s like to work with colleagues, and understand what different jobs are all about. This is especially important in today’s digital and constantly changing world."
