WES’s Career Day is designed to be a low stress, quick overview of what each person’s job entails. Exact times are dependent on the number of volunteers, but most likely it will be an 8:00am arrival with presentations from 8:15-11:15. Students will rotate to presenters for a quick 15 minute presentation with a 5 minute break between groups.
