This week’s show is sure to give you a jolt of energy and joy on episode 223 of The Hidden Workforce!

We’re welcoming back our friends, Mrs. Jenny Allen-Price and her Dragon Brew Crew to The Hidden Workforce! 🐉☕️

Dragon Brew is a student-led start-up business made possible through a generous grant from the Purcell Public Schools Foundation. This is part of their Transitions program led by Mrs. Jenny Allen-Price. Students learn valuable leadership skills as they learn the ins and outs of running a business and provide delicious coffee, breakfast items, and treats. What a great learning opportunity for their students!

Their program has grown substantially since we last heard from them, so this week they dish the updates along with some exciting new projects they are working on to expand their work out into their community!

So grab your coffee and tune in this weekend- you don’t want to miss this show!
