Highlights:
- “This program provides an amazing vehicle for educators to travel outside the classroom and to experience real world working environments. I hope I was able to open their eyes to the fact that careers in the hospitality and tourism fields are endless, and they will be able to convey this to their students.” – Andy Rankin, Investor Relations Director, Charleston Area Convention & Visitors Bureau, WISE session panelist and shadow site host.

“Each worksite had great employees that gave us an insider vision of how their company impacts society and information we need to know to bring back to our students regarding the numerous careers. The WISE class has already had a big impact on my students because I have referenced something from what I have learned each day. I also have used some of the contacts to assist my students. In the years to come, I will most definitely call upon these contacts to grow our career development program. The doors are now open and all we have to do is walk through,” said Julie Taraboulous, WISE Class 2010, Guidance Counselor, West Ashley High School.
