Medway High School welcomed 55 industry professionals as part of its first Career Day earlier this month, giving students a firsthand look at a variety of post-graduation paths.
On Dec. 10, students met with experts from fields including engineering, health care, business, public service and the arts, according to a community announcement. Presenters shared their career journeys and discussed the skills and education needed to succeed in today’s workforce.
The event is part of Medway High School’s My Career and Academic Plan (MyCAP) program, which helps students prepare for life after graduation by encouraging exploration of career options aligned with their interests and strengths, according to the announcement.
Carly Brousseau, Innovation Career Pathways coordinator, thanked the professionals who participated.
“Career Day supports students as they make plans and set goals for their futures by offering a valuable opportunity to connect with real-world professionals and take the first-hand knowledge and experience to build toward their own postsecondary futures,” Brousseau said in a statement.
