Noyd is also working with juniors and seniors in the High School to prepare them for the career night.

 

“Students will learn about what professionals are coming and what current high school openings they have. I will also be going into classrooms to work with students on developing their resumes to have in hand for the event,” said Noyd.

“The goal of our Future Ready Knights program is not only to prepare students for a range of 21st-century careers, but also show them how the opportunity to pursue those careers exist right here in Broome County.  What better way than to show them and their families the jobs available right now in our area,” said Dr. Jason Andrews, Superintendent of the Windsor Central School District.
