Two Hall County educators said they have new experiences they can share with their students considering different careers as a result of recent shadowing opportunities with area businesses. Christy Carter, Work-Based Learning coordinator at Flowery Branch High School, and Deborah Hutchison, who teaches marketing classes at West Hall High, participated in 20-hour externships last month funded through the state’s Career, Technical and Agricultural Education Resource Network. Carter worked at PPG Architectural Finishes in Oakwood, while Hutchison was an extern at WSI Digital Rainmakers.
