High School Students Learn About Real World

Hundreds of St. Lawrence and Lewis county high school students had the chance Wednesday to learn about job seeking skills.

The 14th Annual “Gateways to Careers” was held at Clarkson University’s Cheel Arena.

More than 100 area employers, including staff from 7 News/Fox 28, were on hand to conduct mock interviews with close to 1,200 juniors and seniors.

The students were given information about careers and were evaluated in a number of areas, including resume preparedness, verbal skills, appearance and workplace readiness.

Organizers of the event say each year the students are coming more and more prepared for what it will be like when they enter the job market.
