Career Spotlight Series at Springfield City Library

FOCUSING ON A VARIETY OF JOBS


The upcoming nine-part Career Spotlight Series at Springfield City Library will help adults and teens understand the realities of various careers while they consider different work opportunities. Discussions will feature adults who make their living in a specific field talking about job conditions and opportunities, training requirements, and future expectations in that field.
