In this episode of Lakeland Currents, host Bethany Wesley welcomes Judy Richer, the coordinator of Bridges Career Academies in the Brainerd area, and Jen Voge, the coordinator of Bemidji Career Academies at Bemidji High School.  Together, they will discuss how high schools throughout the region are helping their students explore potential career paths through Career Academies.
