Career Day allows high school students to explore opportunities
Career Day scheduled
KPC's 11th annual high school Career Day will take place Friday morning on the campus. KPC will host hundreds of peninsula high school students for an industrious morning of career exploration. Career Day has become a valuable tool for area high school students exploring numerous careers and also offers them an opportunity to become familiar with KPC as a viable location to pursue their educational and vocational goals.
Four half-hour sessions will offer more than 50 different presentations from a broad spectrum of occupations found throughout the area, as well as several faculty members presenting their program opportunities. The four sessions run from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. with 10-minute breaks between sessions.
