County departments represented include General Services (Fleet Services, Facilities Management and Real Estate), Transportation, Waste Management and Recycling, and Sacramento Regional County Sanitation District. The departments have invited sixty 10th graders from George Washington Carver High School to tour their facilities learn about the services they provide to the community. 

The tour will provide a career exploration opportunity for students and an opportunity for the County of Sacramento to educate students about careers within County service. The student’s teachers and the school district’s College and Readiness Program have created curriculum around the event.

This approach to education prepares students to succeed in college, career, and life.
