BARNEGAT – Local businesses and organizations took over Barnegat High School’s (BHS) gymnasium on Nov. 19 to provide students with a chance to explore future career opportunities and connect with representatives.
Over 1,000 BHS students from all grade levels had the opportunity to speak with Career Day vendors and ask questions regarding their professions. All students were given a Career Day Passport that had to be signed by the professionals they spoke with for the Career Day assignment.
Career Day attendees included representatives of various branches of the military, local and state police, New Jersey Transit, New Jersey Port Authority, Ocean County Vocational Technical School, and dozens of others, totaling 35 vendors.
