Career Conversations is part of the High School Ready program that Scholars really look forward to. It’s a nice complement to classroom learning, and Scholars often remark that it sparks ideas about potential career paths. Last week, Career Conversations featured Advisory Board Member Cornelius Brown and Matthew Kearse from Bolher.
