Batesville High School was the first school in the state to be visited by the new Union Pacific “Be Pro Be Proud” mobile unit, unveiled last Thursday in Little Rock.

The 1,000-square-foot truck is complete with more than 13 virtual and interactive programs showing numerous career ready options for students.

Several area businesses were on hand all day to educate students on the opportunities available after their tour of the mobile unit.

Be Pro Be Proud is an initiative led by the Associated Industries of Arkansas to bring a new generation of Pride, Progress and Professionals to Arkansas’ skilled workforce.     MORE
