 Bemidji High School students heard firsthand from several top business CEOs and managers about how they can take their own career to the next level. This was a collaboration of the Bemidji Area Chamber of Commerce Local Businesses and Bemidji High School. Twenty-one leaders including those from Paul Bunyan Communications, North Central Door, and Cease Family Funeral Home visited seventeen freshman classes. The speakers discussed finances and educational opportunities after high school. They advised students on how social media can affect the higher process. Three juniors at high school here and I know we've had these conversations ourselves as far as kind of what the next step after high school is and I thought that maybe sharing my experiences from when I was in high school to where I got to now might be of some benefit to the kids. I think I'll work a little bit harder, understand that there's always going to be competition out there so I got to find something that helps me stand out, always look and job shadow and maybe internship with different companies, start thinking more about what I want to do. Students were also encouraged to take advantage of resources at school like business tours and work seminars.
