The Career Day Committee’s charge is to co-sponsor with Harlan Community Academy the activities of this event by securing speakers from various careers and “walks of life”.  Selected Speakers will return to the school, once a year, to share with the students their experiences and educational requirements within their respective fields of employment with a particular interest in Harlan Alumni supporting this event. Various educational themes are created for each Career Day, to ensure that the students have a clear understanding of this exceptional learning enhancement and the expectations of what they will discover.

It is anticipated that the students will be provided the opportunity to start evaluating what they want to do in life and using this advantage, hopefully, to assist them in making a tangible impact on their career choices, whether it to be academically, vocationally or entrepreneurship, by what they have gleaned from the presentations.
