JAWS COMET Goes to International Career Day

The Dayton Regional STEM School JCOWA (Junior Council on World Affairs) team, JAWS COMET, an acronym for STEM JCOWA, kicked off JCOWA by going to Sinclair Community College to attend an International Career Fair. The Dayton Junior Council on World Affairs (DCOWA) has students not only from DRSS but also Ponitz, Wilmington, Chaminade Julienne, and others. The event started with an introduction from a counselor from Stiver’s School for the Arts about getting college ready.

While there, students also had the opportunity to hear from 24 different speakers about their jobs and international travel. There was a woman from the University of Dayton who was involved with their study abroad program, a dentist from a private practice, a respiratory therapist from Kettering College, and many more. Students were only able to hear from six people, 13 minutes sheet. 11th grade student Devin Wade said, “I thought it was very interesting to learn about the various career paths.” International Career Day was very successful because of the knowledge obtained about the various options students can take to travel at any time in their career. Thank you to Sinclair Community College for hosting the event and the Dayton Rotary Club for giving a generous grant to DCOWA.
