New York Cares’ Post

We had a fantastic time participating in this week's Baltimore County Public Schools Career Expo at Community College of Baltimore County Catonsville! It was inspiring to see hundreds (maybe thousands) of students eager to explore future career opportunities right here in our community. "Every time we invest in our students, we are at the same time investing in our communities." - Dr. Sandra Kurtinitis, Ph.D, CBCC President. With over 300 program and workforce options available at CCBC, we were proud to share the diverse career paths students can pursue in their own backyard. Events like these are invaluable for connecting students with local career and apprenticeship programs. A big shoutout to the Baltimore County government, BCPS, and CCBC for their collaboration in making this event possible!

In October I had the great pleasure to host a meeting with fellow Employer Advisors under the Berkshire Local Enterprise Partnership. This organisation supports local secondary schools by finding relevant volunteers from the business world who work with the schools to help them develop their career advice. This ensures a closer connection from school and business and is a much needed alignment. Our Graduates Tom Davidson and Juliet Stephenson joined the session too and it told their story of transitioning from school to uni to business. There were tons of questions posed to both and they did a fantastic job explaining the challenges they faced that we can learn from. Thank you Kate Evans and Allison Giles for all you do to empower the young minds and future talent to get the best opportunities they can.

Today we hosted a large group of 2024 Seniors for Career Ready Bootcamp by the Knowlton Center For Career Exploration! Students learned how to network like a pro with Cathi Fallon, "ask me anything" rotations with Human Resources representatives, and a happy hour with Denison's amazing Alumni & Office of Alumni and Family Engagement department.
