It’s never too early to start thinking about life after high school—and the 2025 College & Career Rep Day at Wilson Talent Center gave seniors a powerful head start.
More than 50 representatives from colleges, universities, training programs, military branches, and major employers packed the halls and classrooms of WTC to meet with students and share postsecondary opportunities. Whether it was a conversation about financial aid, a peek at an admissions packet, or a handshake from a future recruiter, students left with new knowledge—and new confidence—as they plan for the future.
The event reflected WTC’s broader mission: helping students discover what drives them and connecting them with real-world experiences that prepare them for success.
And based on the buzz in the hallways? The future’s looking bright.
