ROTTERDAM -- Students will get a better understanding of the connection between school and the workplace at the second annual Career Day today at Draper Middle School.
Eighth-graders will learn firsthand about career possibilities in more than 20 different fields.
Attending will be representatives of mortuary sciences, marketing, health care, law, veterinary science, education, investment management, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, law enforcement, cosmetology, photojournalism and business management.
Students will meet in small discussion groups with professionals to see the tools of each trade, hear about a typical day on the job, learn about educational requirements and get practical advice and answers to career questions.
An assembly titled ``Speed Into Your Future on the Information Superhighway'' at the Mohonasen High School auditorium will feature Robert Gebo, AT&T vice president for sales.
The program is one facet of the Mohonasen Central School District's school-to-careers initiative, designed to bridge the gap between school and college or the workplace.
