FRANKLIN — Juniors and seniors at Franklin High School recently got a firsthand look at potential career paths, when the school hosted a Career Fair in its library during the WIN block.
Ten organizations participated in the event, representing a range of fields including trade schools, home service companies and public safety — with the Franklin Police and Fire Departments among those in attendance.
Approximately 50 junior and senior students moved through the space engaging directly with community professionals, exploring trades and careers beyond the traditional four-year college track.
"I want to thank the Career Fair team for their work in organizing this opportunity for our students," said Superintendent Lucas Giguere. "Events like this give our students direct access to professionals and possibilities they might not otherwise encounter. We're proud to support opportunities that connect Franklin students to their community and their future."
Assistant Superintendent for Teaching and Learning Dr. Tina Rogers shared that sentiment after spending time at the fair herself.
"The conversations happening between students and professionals throughout the fair were exactly what this kind of event is meant to produce," said Dr. Rogers. "We look forward to building on this and creating more opportunities like it for our students."
The event was the first career fair the district has hosted in some time and hopes it will become a recurring opportunity for students.
