     WHEREAS, career-oriented presentations can help students start thinking more in-depth about what they want to do as adults; and

     WHEREAS, career-oriented presentations can also help students learn about what educational background and skills are required for certain industries and fields in which they have interests and provide an opportunity to ask questions and gain important information; and

 

     WHEREAS, students in the State could greatly benefit from career-oriented presentations from the Division about the various professions and vocations it regulates to help inspire students to find their passions and develop a direction for their future; now, therefore,
