Atchison County Development Corporation, in conjunction with the high school counselors, held its annual  professionalism workshop for all of the juniors of Atchison County on Monday, November 22, 2021, at the Tarkio Resource Center.

Fourteen presenters from around the county and area took time out of their schedule to talk to the juniors about things such as communication and customer service in the work place, what to do and not do in an interview, starting a business in Atchison County, and what it’s like working for a major employer. The juniors were also able to visit with recent graduates who have made the choice to come back to Atchison County to work and live.
