Penn State Lehigh Valley’s Office of Career Services has been re-branded to the Office of Career Strategy, and one of their initiatives included the launch of Canvas Pride.
For the third consecutive year, rising seniors from Easton Area High School were given the opportunity to gain real-world work experience through the Easton Employability Experience, a grant-funded program brought about by a partnership between Penn State Lehigh Valley, Easton Area School District, the Lehigh Valley Workforce Development Board, and CareerForce.
The Easton Employability Experience culminated in a showcase at Easton Area High School on Aug. 15, where the students shared their summer experiences in the workforce.
Additionally, Kerry Huzzard was awarded a scholarship by Leading Age PA, a trade association for nonprofit aging services providers that advocates for quality care and services for seniors, to accompany her internship. It was a competitive process, and she along with eight other students were awarded scholarships to do their internships.
