On Tuesday, April 9th, the Greenwich Library teamed up with Greenwich High School’s College and Career Center to host a “Beyond Graduation” event aimed at graduating high schoolers and their families. Held on the first floor of the Library in the Peterson Business Area, the event offered a roadmap for recent graduates as they navigate their next steps.
Many students face a whirlwind of emotions and uncertainty as they approach graduation. “Beyond Graduation” aimed to alleviate those anxieties by showcasing a diverse range of career and post-secondary education options. Attendees had the chance to meet representatives from a wide spectrum of industries, including law enforcement, healthcare, culinary arts, and various skilled trades.
Representatives from the Connecticut Army National Guard were present to discuss military service as a potential path. Additionally, Gap Year Solutions offered guidance for graduates interested in taking a structured break before pursuing further education or entering the workforce.
