This
year the conference focus was international careers;
“Is an International Career in my Future?”
It was led by keynote speaker Carol Christen, who is
a career strategist and author of “What Color
is Your Parachute? For Teens.” Carol led the morning
with many interactive activities, one being where students
were put into groups based on personality types. From
there, the students went into the career orbiting section
of the conference where they had an opportunity to interact
with representatives from different international careers.
There were 8 career guests total ranging in fields from
diplomacy, computer/IT, mass media, travel/tourism and
government. After Q & A with the career guests,
the students had an opportunity to reconvene in their
groups and share information.
There were approximately 125 participants
from the following high schools: Aiea, Roosevelt, Kaimuki,
Radford, Waialua, Kailua, Moanalua, Kalani, Campbell
and Farrington, Pacific Buddhist Academy, International
Hospitality Center, Punahou, and Mid-Pacific Institute.
