I am an alumni from 2003 and currently am employed at a NYC public school GED program. We are looking for a small group individuals who are employed to volunteer their time and come talk about their careers, particularly if  you work in health, nursing, or allied health. If you are interested and available, see the description (letter) below and please contact me at the contact information listed below.

Thank you,

Priya Seshan

 

To Whom It May Concern:
I would like to extend an invitation to you to participate in Career Day at Community Prep GED Plus on May 17, 2012 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

Participants would agree to be part of a panel and discuss their current career, job duties, educational background, and also are encouraged to provide insight on what students could do now should they want to pursue your career. There will be approximately 4-5 participants per panel, and sessions will last until 11:15 a.m. At 11:15 a.m., we invite you to have lunch with our students in our cafeteria so that they can speak with you further and ask any additional questions they may have. Lunch should be finished by 12 p.m.

Our school is a NYC public school and is funded by the NYC Department of Education. We are a GED site that serves students who are ages 17-21 who have previously dropped out of high school and are attempting to obtain their GED equivalency diploma. Students are from all five boroughs but are primarily from low-income areas of New York City and have had a variety of hardships throughout their lives. Our population is mostly male and are students of color. Your participation would expose our students to possible career avenues they have never heard about and would highlight the importance of continuing their education. We really would appreciate your participation.

Should you be able to participate, please let me know. Should you require further information, you may contact me at 212-889-7567 or email me at [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>.

Thank you very much for your time, and it is my hope that you will be able to join us for career day.
Sincerely,
