MEDINA – Medina Central School District is hosting a Tri-County College and Career Day Conference on Jan. 20.
This annual celebration of educational opportunity is a major event for talented, first-generation college-bound students, parents and community members in Orleans, Niagara and Genesee counties. Students, parents, community members from neighboring counties, and other educational opportunity programs are expected to be in attendance.
The purpose of College and Career Day conference is to expose anyone planning their future to a variety of careers in order to jumpstart their thinking about career paths. By preparing early, students will more likely be college and career ready after high school graduation. Students in middle, high school and adulthood may participate in the conference.
On hand there will be representatives from multiple organizations to discuss potential job opportunities and college representatives to discuss their programs. There will be opportunities to discuss over 1,300 career opportunities.
“As educators, our goal is to let students know that there is a magnificent world of possibilities out there,” says Daniel Doctor, director of Community Partnership for the school district. “Having a job, most kids can understand; but building a career is a far more elusive idea. No teenager can fully comprehend yet what it means to have a career, or professional life-path. College is just one of those possibilities that often our students don’t quite really know enough about. In a nutshell, this event is to get students jumpstarted into thinking about the future.”
The event will be held at the Medina Junior-Senior High School at 1 Mustang Drive and runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
