Career Skills Day

On February 15th, 2018, nine students from the Stillwater Transition program attended the annual East Metro Career Skills Day at Guardian Angels Church in Oak Park Heights, MN. The competitions that were being competed in were job application,
general knowledge, and job interview.  There were many different east metro schools represented at the event as well as vendors from the community.
When we first arrived our group checked in and registered to compete in events. We had several staff members from the Transition program attending with us.  To answer questions and help guide us if needed.  We them reviewed the scheduled times for competitions and which events we were participating in. After the competitions were complete we did something called networking.  We got to intermingle with all the different students from all the various schools. After networking was finished, we had lunch which was served from Subway. Then we had a guest speaker whose name was YoDerrick.  He spoke to us about what it takes to be successful with having a job. He also spoke about having goals and continuing to work toward those goals even if you have obstacles to overcome in life. Overall, the day was a success and the majority of us definitely enjoyed ourselves. ~By Kaitlyn Mathaus
