STC NYC and East Bronx Academy Career Fair Recap

On May 30th, our fantastic STC NYC team worked with East Bronx Academy to host a stellar career fair for about 600 middle and high school students, with about 25 professionals from a variety of industries there to speak with students about post-secondary career opportunities. The careers represented included...

1. The airline industry (featuring Jet Blue representatives)

1. The fashion industry (a Parsons School graduate turned Calvin Klein e-commerce manager)

2. The cosmetology industry (a healthcare administer with a "side hustle" that included being a styling assistant to Michelle Obama's hairstylist!)

3. The healthcare industry (a registered nurse with a great story of moving up in his career after taking a 6 week training course at the age of 17 and being offered 3 nursing assistant positions 2 or 3 days after graduation)

4. EMTs (with an ambulance parked in front of the school for students to explore and learn more about what happens during a transport)

5. The Coast Guard

6. The NY Police Department

7. And more!
