"It's great to see these opportunities for students to learn more about what they want to pursue in their future," Berkshire Workforce Board high school intern Nick Lopenzina said, "Workshops like this really give kids a chance to start finding their direction."
The event aims to engage high school students, mainly in grades 10-12, in career awareness and exploration through a blend of live Zoom sessions with local professionals and scheduled broadcasts on Pittsfield Community Television.
Career Week programming is also open to Berkshire residents of all ages who are interested in learning more about the current labor market landscape in the Berkshires. Via PCTV, portions of the live sessions will be broadcast, and career-related content will air when there is not a live Zoom meeting. All videos will be available after the week-long event in PCTV's online educational library. A full schedule with all programming will be available prior to April 26 at www.masshireberkshire.com.
