Schodack CSD Superintendent Bob Horan encourages students and parents to take advantage of the Career Expo to learn about emerging careers and talk directly with company representatives.
“Our students have really enjoyed this event in the past. It’s very engaging and they like how they can ask questions,” said Mr. Horan. “We will be encouraging our students and their parents to attend again this year. It’s a great event.”
In addition to exhibitors, there will be two panel presentations called Careers in Technology from 5:30-6 p.m. and Careers in Healthcare from 6-6:30 p.m.
