A school's job is to prepare students for life after education, and a McLean County high school is doing just that.

On the WHOW High School Road Tour Wednesday, Heyworth High School College and Career Coordinator Dr. Katie Bruemmer explains she begins working with students as early as 6th grade. 

Being a part of a small town can be a benefit, says Bruemmer, because they are well connected with community member that can offer opportunities for students to shadow career fields they may be interested in. 

Heyworth High School has a College and Career Readiness fair coming up. Bruemmer indicates this will give students an opportunity to connect with local industry leaders.
