Thirty students in the Martin Youth LEADERship Program participated in CAREER SHADOWING DAY.
The Chair, Leslie Haviland-Smith, Associate Director of Student Services for Keiser University along with Attorney Jason Berger kicked-off the day with an orientation overview. Orientation was followed by morning long break-out sessions
led by local experts in their field. Students gained real-world advice on “Public Speaking” from Leo Giogrande, Engineer
at AECOM; “Dining Etiquette” presented by Christine Terezakis, owner of Dream Day Celebrations; “Dress For Success” tips from Jessica Layne, Firefly Group; and “Hands on Interviewing Skills” offered by Rich Kolleda, of Spherion
Staffing.
The students also presented a summary of their individual career shadowing experience, where each student spent a day
with a professional in a career of choice gaining valuable insight as to both positive and negative aspects of that potential
career path. The opportunity will no doubt be invaluable as they make both education and career decisions in the next
few years.
