ECHS Sophomore Headed to Indianapolis to Compete in National Career Development Conference

ECHS Sophomore Ally Browning is set to compete in a national career conference in Indianapolis.

Edmonson Voice Report:
Edmonson County High School sophomore Ally Browning is heading to Indianapolis to compete in the National Career Development Conference hosted by Jobs for America’s Graduates (JAG).

She will compete in the area of Employability Skills, which consists of effectively answering various interview questions. She is scored on skills such as verbal and non-verbal communication, professionalism, poise, & how she closes the interview process.

Ally won the region in February and finished third at the state conference in March. She will be one of a selected few Kentucky JAG students to compete against other top performers from other states across the country. 

ECHS JAG teacher Kyle Pierce says Ally has greatly improved over the course of the year.

“Ally broke out of her comfort zone early in the year and improved her social skills," he said. "We do various projects in class that help students break the ice and she just took off from there. She has put in a lot of practice and effort to prepare. We are all proud of her for advancing this far.”

Ally is the daughter of Justin & Julie Browning of Lindseyville. 

The conference will be held at the JW Marriott Hotel in Indianapolis, Indiana, the largest hotel of its brand in the world.
