A huge thank you to all of you. Our students were engaged and super excited about having the opportunity to talk to you and to learn about a wide array of careers they had never imaged.
We had over 100 professionals at the event with 1,243 FRC students take part in our venture. A huge thank to our corporate sponsor Western Finance and Craig Kozlowski.
Here are some comments from FRC students
"I really liked how it gave me insight into how many different options there are in each career."
"It gave me a head start to look into the future."
"It was a very open experience and provided opportunities for future youth."
"There are careers that I'm interested in now that I never thought of before."
Thank you to all our guests and organizers for making this venture a great success as it would not have been possible without your contributions. We will be reaching out in the very near future to invite to our next symposium.
