LAWRENCE, Ind. (WISH) — Each week in Community Link, Carolene Mays-Medley and Marco Dominguez take a look at an organization or business that is making a positive impact on the community.

The McKenzie Center for Innovation and Technology is a career center in Lawrence Township. It offers opportunities to students to start their professional careers.
