North Penn To Host New And Improved College And Career Fair

LANSDALE, PA -- It's never too early to start planning for the future.

North Penn students will have the opportunity to do just that at the upcoming College and Career Fair, to be held on March 7.

“Our goal is to bring alumni, community members and college representatives in to speak with our students,” said Nicole Yetter, NPHS Guidance Department Chair, in a statement. “Our idea is that students will first have the opportunity to speak with alumni and community members from a certain career field that interests them about what the career really entails and how these professionals got to where they are today. From there, students can speak to the college representatives about the right steps at that particular school to reach a desired career.”

The new and improved fair, called "Next Steps," will feature representatives from 70 colleges and universities and 25 different career fields, the school district said.

The event will be open to students from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., and families are invited from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. to speak with alumni, community members, and college representatives.

The evening session will also feature a guest speaker panel from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., the district said.
