Students from Oriskany Jr./Sr. High School attended the 9th Grade Career Day at MVCC, sponsored by the Genesis Group and the Oneida-Herkimer-Madison BOCES, on April 12.

The event included more than 50 speakers from various industries who were on hand to discuss different career options with students. Based on their individual interests, students were able to choose from a number of career presentations given by local professionals. Some of the professions that were represented were animal science, photography, computer science, cosmetology, culinary, finance, law enforcement, education and graphic design. Students were encouraged to engage with each professional and to ask questions related to the career presentations they chose to attend.

More than 950 9th grade students from area schools attended the event.
