Our Rutherford Works Ambassadors are ready to soar this school year! ✈️

These educators are carefully selected from each middle and high school across Rutherford County to serve as the main point-of-contact between their school and Rutherford Works.

We recently welcomed this year's crew to the "Passport to Possibilities" Ambassador Kickoff, where they connected with fellow ambassadors, reviewed the tools and resources they'll use throughout the year, and heard from guest speakers on state-led workforce programs and career exploration resources.

Thank you to our Ambassadors for their dedication to connecting students with real-world career opportunities!
