Westminster College is teaming up with Pennsylvania CareerLink to present its third annual interactive workshop for high school juniors and seniors, “Beyond Graduation: Exploring Your Path Forward.” The event will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 31, in the Witherspoon Rooms of the McKelvey Campus Center on Westminster’s campus.

Now in its third year, the program continues to grow in participation and impact, drawing strong interest from local students and families. Building on the success of previous workshops, this year’s event again offers practical guidance, real-world perspectives and direct access to helpful resources for students preparing for life after high school.

Participants will gain insight into a wide range of post-graduation possibilities while reflecting on their own interests, goals and readiness for next steps. Throughout the evening, students will:

• Connect with local young adults and hear how they launched their careers
• Learn about multiple pathways, including four-year colleges, community colleges, trade and technical schools, military service, law enforcement, entrepreneurship, service programs and workforce training
• Discover internship and work experience opportunities available through CareerLink
• Identify personal strategies for moving confidently into their next chapter

A featured panel of young professionals representing diverse industries will share candid stories about their journeys and answer student questions during an interactive Q&A session.

Check-in begins at 4:30 p.m. Dinner will be provided and attendees will receive a $25 gift card in appreciation of their participation.  An informal networking session will take place from 7 to 7:30 p.m. 

The workshop is free and open to high school juniors and seniors. Registration is required by Monday, March 23. To register, click here.
