On Friday, Mar. 7, East Rockaway Jr/Sr High School hosted Career Day, an event designed to expose students in grades 7-12 to a wide range of professional opportunities. Organized in collaboration with Career Day Inc., the event provided students with invaluable insights into various career paths through keynote speeches and specialized breakout sessions led by industry professionals.

The day began with two inspiring keynote addresses (one for the junior high and another for the senior high), setting the stage for a series of interactive discussions and presentations. Students had the opportunity to attend smaller breakout sessions where professionals from diverse fields shared their experiences, career trajectories, and advice for success. Among the many careers represented were banking, food service management, physical therapy, law enforcement, marketing, public relations, education, law, programming, the military, cybersecurity, real estate, construction, graphic design, aeronautics, architecture, and microbiology.

By engaging with professionals in different industries, students were able to explore career options, ask questions, and gain a better understanding of the skills and educational requirements necessary for various fields. The event underscored East Rockaway Jr/Sr High School’s commitment to preparing students for their future by equipping them with knowledge and networking opportunities that extend beyond the classroom.
