Our Career Connections program offers monthly career development programming at local High Schools to help students answer questions that they have regarding different career fields, education options, etc. Professionals participate in career panels to share their life experience and expertise with 10th and 11th-grade students. Whether students have a detailed plan for life or are still trying to figure out what happens after high school, the insights of volunteers in the workforce can prove valuable in helping encourage and shape tomorrow's leaders.
During the Spring semester sessions take place once a month during lunch at College Park and Grand Oaks High School. Meetings start with a panel discussion and Q & A based on the month’s topic where guest speakers share their honest feedback and may follow with small group discussions or individual student activities. This is an opportunity for professionals to share their personal stories. Students explore topics ranging from finding a career passion to job forecasting.

Career Connections Interview Recording
For the Spring 2022 school year, we are excited to continue with our Career Recordings where volunteers share their journey and advice with Montgomery County students. Professionals partake in pre-recorded professional interviews that will be shared with High Schools and on the EfTA Instagram Page as part of our Words of Wisdom Wednesday posts. Whether students have a detailed plan for life or are still trying to figure out what happens after high school, the insights of volunteers in the workforce can prove valuable in helping encourage and shape tomorrow's leaders.
