Last month, the first annual Careers in Education Day was held at the Faribault Public Schools District Office for students interested in the field of education. The goal of Careers in Education Day was to expose students to the many career opportunities available within a school district.

Students who attended included Faribault High School students in Denise Mesta’s Grow Your Own Program, Auna Udvig’s Education 101 courses, and several Faribault Middle School students. Throughout the day, students had the opportunity to hear from panelists representing a variety of areas, including curriculum and assessment, activities and athletics, IT, Career and Technical Education (CTE), school outreach, communications, human resources, behavioral health, and community education.

Superintendent Bente and Faribault Middle School Assistant Principal Jesse Armbruster served as keynote speakers during lunch. Following the presentations, students had time to ask questions and get to know the people behind the scenes who help make our schools run each day.

At the end of the session, students were asked whether they planned to pursue a career in education, and most answered with a resounding “yes.”

Events like Careers in Education Day help inspire the next generation of educators and school professionals while showcasing the many rewarding career paths available in public education.
