From Twin Valley School District

Twin Valley High School hosted its first-ever Career Day on Wednesday, Jan. 29, offering an enriching opportunity for high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors to explore a wide variety of career paths. The event saw over a hundred local and regional volunteers come together to help students envision their futures and discover potential career avenues.

The event featured a combination of hands-on demonstrations and inspiring talks from industry professionals, providing students with a wealth of knowledge on various professions and educational paths. Career Day featured a diverse range of participants, including representatives from local businesses, universities, government agencies, and professional organizations.

Students had the chance to interact with professionals from various sectors, including healthcare, technology, law enforcement, engineering, education, and more. Participating organizations included major employers like Boeing, Morgan Truck Body, and the U.S. Army, as well as educational institutions like West Chester University, Penn State Berks, and Kutztown University.

The event was an overwhelming success, fostering connections between students and professionals and offering a glimpse into the many career opportunities available after high school. It provided students with the resources, insight, and inspiration to make informed decisions as they plan their futures.

Junior Emma McNamee shared her thoughts on the event: “I found Career Day to be very beneficial both personally and for the community because it doesn’t matter what job I go into; it matters how every other person contributes to the community as well. Providing opportunities to see how everyone can find their interests and tie that to a profession was enlightening and allowed all people to feel purposeful. There was something for everyone.”

The Career Day event not only provided an opportunity for students to explore career options but also emphasized the importance of community involvement and the value of local partnerships. Twin Valley High School looks forward to making this event a yearly tradition that continues to inspire students and broaden their horizons.

Michelle Vondran, Future Planning Coordinator at Twin Valley High School, played a crucial role in organizing the event. She expressed her appreciation for the event’s success: “Seeing the students’ enthusiasm as they learned about different career paths, made connections with potential employers, and explored avenues they never even considered was remarkable. Planning an event of this magnitude required countless hours of preparation, but every member of the Career Day Planning Committee was committed to creating a meaningful day where students could explore life beyond the walls of Twin Valley.”
