LESA Hosting Virtual Focus Groups This Week to Discuss Career Opportunities for StudentsAugust 10, 2026Nik Rajkovic / news @whmi.comLivingston educational service agency is seeking participants for an anonymous virtual focus group to help influence the growth of career experiences programs such as career & technical education. It comes on LESA’s communitywide survey earlier this year, which revealed parents are often unaware of the opportunities for students to take college classes or technical training while still in high school. Or, they could do early middle college and earn up to associate’s degree, again for free,” said Michelle Radcliffe, Assistant Superintendent for Career Development. Radcliffe says three separate virtual groups will be held this week for each audience – school staff, community members and parents or guardians. To ensure honest and unbiased feedback, LESA says the focus groups will be facilitated by Hanover Research, an independent third-party research organization.
