Day 6: Career Talks (Year 2): Dream Big, Plan Smart: Navigating Educational & Career Opportunities in Science and Technology

JCI Surigao North, in collaboration with JCI Surigao Wensie, JCI Surigao Nickel, Department of Science and Technology (DOST), and Local Youth Development Office-Surigao City, successfully conducted the 2nd installment of its highly anticipated Career Talks event.
Scheduled as part of the 2024 JCI Week celebration, under the theme “Lead to Serve, Make a Difference,” the event welcomed fifty-two (52) Grade 11 Senior High School students coming from the DepEd Surigao del Norte and Surigao City Divisions.
The Career Talks aim to inspire and motivate the youth to pursue careers in science and technology by showcasing the opportunities, success stories, and potential impact they can achieve in these fields; inform and educate participants about the various educational pathways, scholarship programs, and career opportunities available in science and technology to empower participants to make informed decisions about their educational and career trajectories; and facilitate networking opportunities and mentorship connections between participants and established professionals to foster meaningful relationships and provide valuable guidance, support, and mentorship as they navigate their educational and career journeys.
This initiative underscores JCI Surigao North’s commitment to nurturing the leadership potential of young individuals and creating positive change within communities.
