North Penn High School Career Day
Wednesday, Sept. 26 | 9 am to 1 pm

Help us make a difference in the lives of our students.
Calling All North Penn Alumni
& Community Members...
We Need Your Help!

Brought to you by the North Penn Alumni Association and the North Penn High School College & Career Center, NPHS is hosting a Career Day for students in grades 10-12 on Wednesday, September 26 from 9 am to 1 pm.

Different from career fairs held at North Penn in the past, this event is now completely separate from the college fair with which it was previously paired. Career Day will be held in two parts. Please continue reading for more information. For those who participated last year, the model will mirror the fall 2017 event.


An open format career fair will be held in the Auxiliary Gym at North Penn High School for students to attend during their lunch periods and study halls at their leisure. Additionally, teachers at NPHS will have the opportunity to sign their classes up to visit the career fair as a group during this time.

Alumni and community volunteers will be stationed at various tables throughout the aux. gym to speak with students about their profession and answer any questions. Similar to last year's event, the space will be divided into "career clusters," grouping together volunteers from similar industries/fields of work.

In an effort to increase attendance and engagement, students will be offered an incentive to complete a short assignment associated with the career fair that requires them to interact with volunteers and ask meaningful questions.


We would also like to offer a more in-depth opportunity for students to meet with volunteers. To facilitate this, we will be opening up some of our larger classroom spaces to house a few professionals from specific career fields to answer more detailed questions and offer students an opportunity to speak with volunteers on a more personal level about careers of interest.

This part of the event will only be offered for teachers to sign their classes up to attend at specified times.

The career fields featured in these career discussion rooms will be selected based on a student interest survey as well as volunteer willingness to participate.

If you have any questions, please contact Kaity Andrey at andreykm@npenn.org or Patrick Brett at brettpf@npenn.org.
