Career Day: Summer 2009!

On Saturday July 25, 2009, over 200 Let’s Get Ready students from all Mid-Atlantic summer programs and 35 young professionals from a wide variety of fields gathered at NYU to participate in LGR Career Day 2009.

The young professionals led career-oriented activities such as career and personality assessments, “My Path” (an activity in which students discussed the steps they could take now to get to their desired career), and career panels. Students also put their newly-learned networking skills to use as they participated in a networking session and exchanged business cards with young professionals. At the end of the event, LGR site directors and coaches led students on a guided tour of NYU.

Students and young professionals thoroughly enjoyed the event. LGR Bronx student Cristina Dones said, “The young professionals were friendly and inspiring. I now feel more confident about what I want to do and accomplish.” Thank you to the young professionals that volunteered their time to make this event a success.

2. Share their interests, ideas, and aspirations.

3. Hear what it's like to be a lawyer, doctor, artist, teacher, etc.

4. Learn about pursuing different college majors and how that can help their career.
