District staff described 'Careers on Wheels' as an early workforce development outreach for elementary students.

Speaker 5 said the event is designed to spark curiosity through hands-on exploration, starting with a fourth-grade career interest survey and classroom lessons on career clusters. The presentation said more than 50 businesses have participated over multiple years, and this year more than 30 careers were represented. The speaker reported 615 students attended across all elementary schools and thanked sponsor partners including McDonald's, Curtis Construction, Taylor Promotions and the Chamber of Commerce.

School staff and business partners participate in activities such as scavenger hunts tied to career fields and hands-on demonstrations (for example, archaeology and equipment displays). District leaders said the event supports long-term engagement with career and technical education pathways offered in middle and high school.
