In this episode of Connect, Adam gives a behind-the-scenes look at a week focused on schools, students, and workforce development in Phelps County.

The video starts with preparations for the first Workforce Draft Day event before plans quickly changed due to scheduling conflicts, giving a real look at the flexibility and problem-solving that goes into community work behind the scenes.

Adam also visits a middle school JAG classroom to talk about career paths, entrepreneurship, and how his 15 years in the music industry eventually led him to the Holdrege Chamber. The conversation focuses on helping students understand that there are many different paths to success and the importance of exposing young people to opportunities they may not have considered before.

It’s a simple but important reminder of how communities, schools, and local organizations can work together to invest in the next generation.
