PADUCAH — The West Kentucky Education Cooperative's Transition Fair provided and gave opportunities for local juniors and seniors in high school who have learning differences. Through the event, the students participated in workshops on topics like technology, money management and mental health.
Through events like this one, kids are equipped to transition smoothly after high school into vocational schools or college, or even a job.
Organizers said for students with learning differences, it's empowering to have these options and to grow into their potential as adults.
More than 100 kids and teachers chatted and enjoyed some lunch Wednesday at Paducah's Convention Center during the fair. They learned skills that will help them in the future.
