Some of our Clay City Juniors and Seniors attended FIND Your Career Day at Robinson High School, hosted by Marathon’s Illinois Refining Division. Students had the opportunity to connect with a variety of vendors—including Marathon Petroleum contractors, union representatives, and local businesses—who shared information about career paths in operations, electrical work, accounting, engineering, welding, and pipefitting. Local colleges were also present to discuss scholarships, financial aid, and internship opportunities available to students!
