Career Day at CPA
Friday, March 2, 2012
Career Day is an annual opportunity for CPA high school students to learn about numerous occupations. The day begins with a keynote address. This year we have the privilege to welcome John Seigenthaler as our keynote speaker. John has had a long and illustrious career, and our students will benefit greatly from his wisdom. Following the speech, students will travel to panel discussions at which nearly 60 men and women from the Nashville community will share their education and career experiences. Confirmed panelists include a veterinarian, architect, professional sports agent, nutritionist, homeland-security officer, occupational therapist, Tennessee Bureau of Investigation officer, nurse practitioner and many more. We look forward to another wonderful, enriching Career Day for our students!
