We welcomed students from St. Paul area high schools to access pathways for their future. Students had the opportunity to connect with a vested mix of Minnesota businesses in six different tracks of interest including;
- Business, Management & Administration,
- Agriculture, Food & Natural Resources
- Arts, Communications & Information Systems
- Engineering, Manufacturing & Technology
- Health Science Technology
- Human Services
This experience reflects the needs of students at increasingly younger ages to envision their path beyond high school. There are more tailored ways for students to volunteer, intern, and shape their education than ever before. This experience gives them permission to explore, and the idea that they can and should create their own path.
Participating businesses will learn from the students as well as they talk with them about two and four-year education options, technical and trades skill sets, and professional careers to entrepreneurial ventures.
Career Connect Day promises to be a day of inspiration for all including our teachers and school leaders who strive to give their students opportunities. With their help, we’re creating a variety of ways to move students through the experience based on their interests and preferred ways of learning and engaging.
