(Middletown, CT) The
Middlesex County Chamber of Commerce’s Business & Education
Partnership Advisory Council, the Middlesex Consortium of Schools,
and Wesleyan University’s Jewett Center for Community Partnerships
announced that the 13th Annual Career Expo, an exploration event for
high school students in Middlesex County and beyond will take place on Tuesday, May 1.
Sponsors
of the Middlesex County Chamber of Commerce’s Business & Education
Partnership, which plans the Expo with the Middlesex Consortium of
Schools include Eversource Energy, Pratt & Whitney, and Wesleyan University’s Jewett Center for Community Partnerships.
The 2018 High School Career Fair Expo will be held on Tuesday, May 1, at the Spurrier-Snyder Ice Rink, Freeman Athletic Center, Wesleyan University, Middletown, between the hours of 8 a.m. and 12 p.m.
Last year, the fair hosted students from Cromwell, Middletown, Durham,
Middlefield, Portland, and East Hampton. This year, close to 1,400
students are expected to attend, including those from the communities of
Haddam, Killingworth, Chester, Deep River, Essex, and Vinal Technical
High School, East Hartford, Meriden and Middletown.
Over
280 career professionals will be on hand to share career experiences
with the students. This event provides our high school students with an
invaluable opportunity to explore potential careers so that they may
better plan their educational goals. The expertise of business and
community leaders is invaluable in connecting academics with the skills
required in the workplace.
Students
are assigned to visit with at least 3 separate presenters/exhibitors
and document the information that they were able to gather from their
conversations with the presenters/exhibitors they chose to visit. This
is an opportunity for the students to talk with various business people
regarding professions, descriptions of responsibilities, training, and
education required, average salaries, and advancement opportunities.
