Helping Today’s High Schoolers Become “Future Leaders”
Posted Friday, September 26th, 2008 by Youssef ChakerStuarts Draft High School is launching their new event called: “Lunch with Future Leaders” and we have been invited to spend some time with the students to discuss with them our careers and the paths we took to get to where we currently are. This is a great opportunity for us to show our passion for what we do and give some insight to students who are trying to make important decisions about their future. As a community focused company we value events like this that allow us to interact with young people who will soon become the bright minds of the future.
Eric and Youssef will be having lunch with the students at Stuarts Draft High School on Tuesday, October 14, 12pm – 1pm.
Below is one of the news releases sent out by the school:
Stuarts Draft High School is launching “Lunch with Future Leaders”, an opportunity for young professionals to promote job skills and career pathways. Once a month over lunch in the high school cafeteria, the featured guest and a group of students will be able to discuss educational foundations, the joys and challenges of a particular career, and job-specific knowledge necessary for achieving the students’ plans for their future. The first guest will be Sam Rasoul, candidate for the United States 6th Congressional District on Spetember 18th. Anticipated future guests will include local individuals in their 20’s and 30’s from a variety of interesting fields and professions. The core idea behind “Lunch with Future Leaders” is to allow students the opportunity to learn first-hand about the varieties of careers available and how to reach their potential in a chosen field. The featured professionals will also benefit from hearing about the next generation’s ambitions and enjoy the chance to display how their own dreams have come to fruition. Questions about this program can be directed to SDHS Principal, Donna Abernathy, or program sponsors Jonathan Kern, Government teacher, and Jenny Gardner, Career Coach.
