Members of the Concordia High School Senior class got to sit down with some future employers on Wednesday, March 20th to practice professionalism, explore their career choices, and learn how to stand out as the best applicant for the job during this year's "Senior Interview Day."

More than 20 businesses and employers were on hand to network with students, visit with them about their profession, ask questions of the students, and provide feedback to their responses.  Students were also able to take part in a breakout session about college, technical program, and workforce prep, as well as a panel discussion about putting their best self forward in the world of work.

Kevin Muff, Concordia Dean of Student Improvement, said the day was designed to help students know their interests and set academic and occupational goals, help students explore career options in their interest areas, and help students prepare for careers in their interest areas with high school coursework and experiences that fit their career pathway.
