The interactive environmental education organization RiverQuest presents a special Who Works the Rivers educational experience for students grades 9 to 12 on October 14 in Pittsburgh from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m.
The program will feature an interactive full-group session, adapted from the National Energy Education Development project’s Energy and Our Rivers curriculum, followed by a trip on one of the Gateway Clipper Fleet to meet representatives from a full range of river industries from nonprofit to military, from recreational to industrial, to learn about the many opportunities for jobs and careers in this sector.
Hands-on artifacts and activities, along with time to enjoy the ride on the river, help make the “job fair” atmosphere fun and memorable for students.
The event is sponsored by the Waterways Association of Pittsburgh, Ingram Barge Company, AEP River Operations, Campbell Transportation, Cummins Bridgeway, CONSOL River Operations, Port of Pittsburgh Commission, ELG Metals and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
