Dist. 214 Career Nights begin Oct. 14

For the seventh consecutive year, District 214 will host three Career Nights in October and November.

Each night will focus on different career clusters, highlighting various professions in each category. With representatives from numerous businesses and industries, students and their parents will receive valuable information on planning for the future.

The selection of presenters is based upon a student inventory, which every student completes in the spring. Top areas of interest are chosen and speakers are invited to informally talk with students about these areas.

Attending a Career Night may also help open the door to enrollment in the District Internship Program, as well as the Education and Medical Academies.

• The first Career Night of the school year, "Careers in Arts and Communication/Human Services," will be held at Elk Grove High School on Thursday, Oct. 14.

• "Careers in Health and Natural Resources" will take place at Buffalo Grove High School on Tuesday, Oct. 19.

• Wheeling High School will be the site of the third and final night in the series, "Careers in Engineering/Industrial Technology/Business and Computers," on Tuesday, Nov. 2.

All events begin at 7 p.m. with registration starting at 6:30 p.m. There will be two breakout sessions and a networking session and each program will conclude at 9 p.m.
