On Wednesday, January 8, the Geauga Growth Partnership, Great Lakes Cheese, and the Berkshire Schools hosted a Career Day for the 11th grade students at the Kent State Geauga campus. The event was designed to equip students with the tools to source and apply for open positions.
Donald Wayne McLeod delivered a dynamic keynote address which focused on how each of us are perceived. The students created their own LinkedIn accounts in the computer labs and learned about the pitfalls of social media from attorney Eric Johnson.
Over 30 Geauga County employers attended and spent the afternoon interviewing the juniors.
This day would not have been possible without the following people: Tracy Jemison, John Eppercht, Tamara Hagerty, Stacey Barbe, John Wilhelm, Georgia Klemencic, Shelby Spear, Kelly Timmons, Meghan Hull, Lynn Hunter, and Maria Koler.
