The Professional Seminar (Two-Year Cycle)

High school is the time to begin thinking about career interests. Your interests will affect the college and the major you choose. It is also the time to develop the habits of effective speaking and critical thinking that are essential for success in college and the workplace.

An interactive activity and a talk on character development follows each presentation. The program also includes an introduction and subscription to OptimalWork, an organization which aims at helping students and professionals to work at their best.
