Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School is looking for community members to talk to students this spring about their career paths and the educational and professional requirements for their respective fields.
The 2016-17 speaker series began in November and has hosted speakers who work in engineering, mental health, banking, finance, alternative medicine, entrepreneurship and media/TV/film. The sessions occur in the Career Center at L-S during the Friday lunch block from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
“Students stay for as long as they can and they have the opportunity to ask questions that will hopefully clarify the skills, values, and temperament needed to be successful in a given field,” said L-S Vocational Coordinator Andrea Falzone. “Our hope is that these sessions will expand students’ awareness of the wide range of career opportunities that exist.” Speakers do not need to have a current or former student at the high school.
Future speakers and tentative dates are below. For more information, contact Falzone at andrea_falzone@lsrhs.net.
