YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - A local school gave its students a first-hand look at what careers they can pursue in the future.

It was part of OC Johnson Elementary School's Tunnel of Hope and Career Day. Students learned what it takes to work in a variety of jobs locally.

The goal of the event was to help transform kids' dreams into a reality.

"It's important so they can make a plan for their future, have some dream and set some goals to find a college or career that they want to go to," said Principal Angela Logan.

More than 30 agencies were a part of the Career Day, including the Yuma Police Department, the Yuma County Sheriff's Office and Onvida Health.
