The Troy Pike Center for Technology recently hosted a Careers Are Fun Day for high school students from Charles Henderson High School, Goshen High School, and Pike County High School. The event was designed to introduce students to a variety of career options and provide them with an opportunity to bond with peers from other high schools.
Jamie Rich, assistant principal at the technology center, explained that the goal of Careers Are Fun Day was to expose students to different career paths and provide them with inspiration for their future. “We wanted to show them that there are many different careers available out there, and that they have the potential to pursue any one of them,” said Rich.
The event consisted of two sessions, each tailored to students in grades 10-12. During these sessions, students had the chance to learn about various careers through interactive workshops and presentations led by professionals in those fields. They also got an opportunity to network with peers from other high schools who shared similar interests and goals.
In addition to Careers Are Fun Day, the TPCT also held a Senior Career Signing Day for students who will be entering the military or starting employment or an apprenticeship at local businesses and industries. This event allowed students to celebrate their future endeavors and mark the next step in their career journeys. It was a day of excitement, pride, and camaraderie as students from different schools came together to support their peers in their chosen paths.
Overall, both events were designed to inspire young people and give them the tools they need to succeed in their future careers. Through interactive workshops, networking opportunities, and celebrations of achievement, students were able to gain valuable insights into what it takes
