Virtual Career Day Series | Palisades Branch Library
Palisades Branch Library YA Librarian Jessica Levy is putting together a panel of recent college study abroad students for a Wednesday Virtual Career Day series.
“Our teen attendees really enjoyed our college career day panel and this would be a good way to inspire teens throughout LA to pursue study abroad opportunities in the future,” Levy wrote in an email.
Young adults who have participated in a study abroad program or took a gap year living/working abroad in the past two to three years who are interested in speaking over Zoom on a panel with others are encouraged to reach out to Levy.
“I am especially interested in students who lived abroad for a year and had to learn another language and performed their studies in that language,” Levy wrote. “But I would also be interested in hearing from anyone willing to share their study abroad experience, including semester programs.”
The panel would take place on a Wednesday between 4:30 and 5:30 p.m. Email Levy directly for more information at jlevy@lapl.org.
