International Career Day
This yearly event is designed to give up to 800 JWAC high school students a wide perspective on the global landscape including international careers, what they entail and how to pursue their desired career path. Students choose to attend five out of ten break-out sessions featuring presentations by international professionals. In addition, several organizations have information booths at the event to provide interested students with more specific advice. Schools may register up to 30 Junior WAC students and bus assistance is available.
