Berkshire, GGP Host Career Day

On Jan. 8, the Geauga Growth Partnership, Great Lakes Cheese and the Berkshire Schools hosted a career day for the eleventh-grade students at the Kent State University Geauga Campus. The event was designed to equip students with the tools to source and apply for open positions.

Donald Wayne McLeod delivered a dynamic keynote address that focused on how each student is perceived. The students created their own LinkedIn accounts in the computer labs and learned about the pitfalls of social media from attorney Eric Johnson.

More than 30 Geauga County employers attended and spent the afternoon interviewing the juniors.

The day would not have been possible without the following people: Tracy Jemison, John Eppercht, Tamara Hagerty, Stacey Barbe, John Wilhelm, Georgia Klemencic, Shelby Spear, Kelly Timmons, Meghan Hull, Lynn Hunter and Maria Koler.
