Wesleyan Hosts Career Fair For High Schools

A career fair for high schools in Central Connecticut drew 1200 students to Wesleyan's Hockey arena today. The fair, organized by The Middlesex Chamber of Commerce, is in its 6th year. Nearly 150 different companies and organizations were represented.

Council Majority Leader Tom Serra serves as chair of the Business/Education Partnership Advisory Council, responsible for organizing the fair. Serra said that most of the students were sophomores and juniors; the fair provided them an opportunity to learn what kinds of training and certificates they would need for specific careers.
