RKYHS students recently participated in Career Week. Throughout the week, RKYHS students were invited to hear from professionals in a wide range of fields. Students had the opportunity to expand their awareness of careers and organizations, and enhance their networking skills. Students heard from Stacy Lansey who works in data analytics at Warby Parker; Dr. Alan Miller, an emergency room doctor; Jon Einalhori, a sports agent; Autumn McCourt, a defense attorney; and Avi Bendory (JKHA ‘13/RKYHS ‘17) who works in software engineering at Bloomberg. Students were engaged as they learned about careers they were familiar, and unfamiliar, with as they began to think about their interests.

In addition to Career Week exposing students to different career paths, RKYHS frequently assists students in locating internships that help them receive hands-on experience at a particular job or field. Additionally, the Career Club at RKYHS frequently brings in speakers from different industries and fields to discuss what they do, the path they took to get there, as well as offer tips and suggestions for exploring their passions and being exposed to different career routes.
