UCHS Students Make Career Preparation Count in Columbus, OH

By Vivian Risch-

Karli Middleton and Megan Ruther from Union County FCCLA attended the Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) 2022 National Fall Conference (NFC) in Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 11-13. FCCLA's 2022 NFC drew over 1,200 members, advisers, and supporters from across the nation with opportunities for personal development, career exploration, and community service.

Middleton and Ruther took the online FCCLA Knowledge Skills Exam and placed 13th and 14th overall and received gold medals.

Throughout NFC, attendees heard from high-level industry experts. Keynote speakers included Cameron Mitchell, founder and CEO of Cameron Mitchell Restaurants, Sergeant Major of the US Army Michael Grinston, Newscaster Dom Tiberi, and Olympian Sarah Wells. Before the conference, students competed virtually in career-focused Skill Demonstration Events testing their knowledge in personal finance, consumer responsibilities, technology, health and safety, and more. FCCLA members also networked with fellow youth leaders and learned more about future career and college options through career pathway exploration in Human Services, Hospitality and Tourism, Education and Training, and Visual Arts and Design.

Those in attendance at NFC exemplified FCCLA's annual theme, “IncREDible,” and shared how they utilize the skills, experiences, and knowledge gained through FCCLA to make a difference in their families, careers, and communities.
