On October 27th, the Iredell EDC team helped host the 2nd Annual Careers on Wheels event as a part of Iredell Ready, a county-wide workforce initiative for the purposes of cultivating career exploration, promoting lifelong learning, and closing the skills gap for Iredell County employers.  Careers on Wheels is hosted by Iredell-Statesville Schools’ Career and Technical Education (CTE) Department in collaboration with Mooresville Graded School District’s Career and Technical Education (CTE) Department, Mitchell Community College, Iredell Economic Development Corporation, and Greater Statesville Chamber of Commerce.  This year more than 50 Iredell County businesses set up at the Iredell County Fairgrounds with interactive stations created to give sixth-grade students early exposure to industry options.
