While many high school seniors have finalized their plans for after graduation, underclassmen are at all stages of planning their post-high school lives.

On Monday, students at Panther Valley High School had a chance to see some of the opportunities available to them at the district's annual career day.Students had the opportunity to talk with representatives from LCCC and Triangle Tech, as well as military recruiters and law enforcement officers.Each year, the school's Transition Team - whose goal is to help prepare students for life after high school - invites employers, schools and military recruiters to the fair.Some of the qualities stressed by the presenters were obvious, like maintaining good grades. But presenters also emphasized the importance of being responsible with your online presence, Panther Valley English teacher Jennifer Jones said."A lot of the presentations are relevant to what kids need to know, and what they're interacting with on an everyday basis.LCCC officials used a game show format to talk about how community college can be a springboard to many careers or a four-year institution. And there are scholarships available specifically for students living in the Panther Valley area, Jones said.Triangle Tech's Allyson Emmanuelli told students about their programs in carpentry and welding, among other specialized trades."A lot of the trades are pretty in demand now - a four-year career is good, but with us we are going to help you find a job," she said.The Carbon County office of Juvenile Probation talked about the work that they do. They're responsible for supervising numerous people under the age of 18 who are serving sentences related to criminal activity. For a job in juvenile probation, students must attain a four-year degree and a clean criminal record, among other qualifications."We explain to them that every day is different, some days are more hectic than others, but you'll have certain goals you need to complete - in dealing with kids who are on probation, and what we do to enforce that," probation officer Joseph Greco said.Over the years, school officials saw that students attending the event took particular interest in the group of juvenile probation officers, so they have become a mainstay at the career day."It's not because we make it entertaining, it's just that it's related to the criminal justice field," Greco said.
