Eighth graders at Oakdale-Bohemia Middle School got a glimpse into the workforce during its Career Fair on April 28. Students rotated through different tables in the gymnasium based on their personalized schedules that aligned with careers they are interested in. Different fields were represented by the guest speakers including doctors, social workers, police officers, firefighters, architects, nurses, teachers and financial advisors – to name a few. Each presentation was unique and interactive, allowing students to ask questions and gain an overview of the day-to-day operations within each career. Additionally, speakers informed students about the paths they took to their current positions.

Not only did students gain insight into the workforce, the event connected students with the community and the many jobs available in the region.
