Festivals & Events
Business Connections
We hold a Business Connections event at Leader Composite School. Our goal is to help our youth connect with local business leaders that can give them advice, education requirements, summer jobs, information about positions available, and if they offer training coverage. We also touch base about career goals they have. In the event where anyone would like to come back to stay in Leader to start their careers then we can connect them with the right people to help assist them in making their dreams a realization.
