The teens in the Boys and Girls Club of Central Illinois’ Career Launch spent yesterday afternoon on campus learning about careers in criminal justice and agriculture. Tara Walk, associate professor of criminal justice discussed the criminal justice process, law enforcement and related careers; Sergeant Mike Hanson, LLCCPD and Sergeant Craig Meador, LLCCPD provided information on practical response to an active shooter; and three members of the Springfield Police Department talked about their experience, equipment used on the job and provided the teens an opportunity to see their squad car. The teens learned about agriculture careers and sales with Holly Bauman, agriculture program specialist, and worked with Bill Harmon, ag program coordinator, in using power tools in the ag mechanics lab to build their own wood peg games! The program will continue on Monday afternoons at LLCC through July 30.
