Nearly 30 local businesses, organizations and employers visited Monticello High School on Wednesday, Nov. 13 for the school’s annual career fair. The participants represented a wide variety of career choices spanning different industries, including arts and communications; business and information management; engineering, technological and industrial services; health and natural resource sciences and human and family services.
Students moved from table to table, asking the representatives what a typical day looks like in their industry, and the qualifications needed to enter the field. In some cases, students were able to apply for internships or part-time work on site, or to leave their resumes with the representative for follow up.
“The career fair is a wonderful opportunity to get students excited for their future plans, and thinking about how they can achieve their goals,” Principal Jennifer Gorr said. “We’re so thankful to the many local community organizations who were just as enthusiastic to speak to our students, as our students were to speak to them. By coming here today, they helped showcase the wealth of opportunity here in Sullivan County.”
