Kansas City, Kansas, Public Schools, and the law firm of DiPasquale Moore will hold a career expo for Sumner Academy seniors. The expo is specifically for students starting their senior year in the fall of 2022.
The expo will take place at Sumner Academy of Arts and Science, from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 26, at 1610 N. 8th St. in Kansas City, Kansas.
The event will feature close to a dozen speakers in fields such as engineering, health care, marketing, information technology, broadcast journalism, law, and more. Speakers will discuss why they chose their specific career path and the education needed to reach their goal.
Breakout sessions will then follow in which Sumner Academy seniors will be given a chance to speak directly with at least three of the speakers. Students will have an opportunity to ask questions and discuss their career aspirations.
“The career expo is important for our students because it provides those lived experience that serve students beyond the classroom. The amazing educators at Sumner Academy work hard to prepare students for post high school success. They focus not only on the academic skills but the important soft skills to be productive citizens in tomorrow’s world,” said Sumner Academy Principal Rick Malone.
The event will also include professional photos taken of the students, live music, lunch, and goodie bags supplied by DiPasquale Moore.
