The Majors program provides students with the opportunity to speak with mentors in many different careers. The program consists of monthly meetings in a career of your choice.
With careers ranging from business and health, to cosmetology and video game design, not to mention film, public service and engineering: More students can gain insight into multiple careers and pursue their passion.
The program works hard to not only bring regular speakers into their meetings but also to coordinate after-school events, one of which is the Career Mentorship Expo, which took place in late February.
The Majors program worked with the Kiwanis organization to bring more than 20 mentors to talk to students from a variety of ages at this event. Everyone who attended this event was given the chance to talk one on one with the mentors and ask questions freely.
“I liked how I could ask anything about their job,” freshman Dawn Baker said. “[Architect Christine Cano] gave me a lot of information about her day-to-day life and what to expect [in] a career in architecture.”
The event also allowed students to engage with the mentors in a comforting environment where they were confident to talk deeply about their interests.
“We spoke about his history with Biotech and Amgen, a place I admire, and about his career and my dream career,” sophomore Sierra McDemas said. “He gave me a lot of good advice. It made me realize that the path I’m choosing is definitely the one for me.”
Students are able to connect with the mentors on a professional level, and understand what the career they want to major in truly consists of. With the help of the mentors, students were able to truly put into consideration all the pros and cons of the career before college.
“At the end of the day you can be getting a high pay check but be miserable in what you are doing,” said sophomore Monse Sixtos, who met with several mentors, including business mentor Shawn Moradian. “He had very good advice in general and stated how important it was to like your job and [that your] not just doing something for the money.”
