The Ticonderoga High School Class of 2025 in coordination with the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce (TACC) are pleased to announce that the first annual “Ticonderoga High School Career & Curriculum Day” was held on Wednesday, April 9th at the Ticonderoga High School. This event was part of the Chamber’s new Employment Opportunities program.
Students coordinated with area businesses to learn about careers in a fun and exciting environment. As part of the event, there was hands-on experiences and chances to speak one-on-one with business professionals. The day began with a welcome & thank you from students and the Chamber, followed by Keynote Speaker, Sharon Burstein providing an inspirational presentation on leadership. Following the assembly, there was a Career Causeway (Job Fair) in the high school cafeteria giving students from all grades an opportunity to meet with local businesses. The event concluded with an array of specific industry panels throughout the afternoon.
“While wandering through the gym and glancing at different job opportunities available to students has always been fun, the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce has had the incredible idea of innovating our traditional “Career Fair”—making it much more interactive for everyone involved,” stated Haley Sutphen, Class of 2025 Student.
Quinn Lang, also a Class of 2025 Student reflected, “this day gave everyone the opportunity to explore the career options they specifically want to pursue which is very unique.”
