 Bemidji High School invited professionals into the halls this morning for their annual CEO in the classroom event. 20 CEOs and professionals from the Bemidji area spoke with about 400 freshmen today. They came from all different career fields and talked about different job opportunities, how to find their passion and the cost of living. The school works with the Bemidji Chamber of Commerce to put all of this together. Starting to open the doors now realizing that they're in ninth grade and in four years they're going to be a senior, they're going to graduate and now they're going to enter either the world of work, so start looking at what the passion, what are their passions, what do they want to do for work? Is it going to require a two-year degree? Will they go to a tech school? Will they go in the military? Will they go right into the work setting? Will they go to a four-year college? The BHS principle says the event is also meant to expose the students to all the opportunities in Bemidji.
