This month Manchester Township High School's Junior Achievement students were invited to attend the Women's Future Leadership Academy, a leadership conference in Voorhees, NJ.
This event brought together hundreds of professionals from a variety of career stages and backgrounds with hundreds of high school girls from across the state to share advice, learn new skills, and set goals for the future. Engaging half-day sessions began with featured speakers or moderated career panels, followed by interactive small-group mentoring led by volunteers that encourage participants to learn, get involved, and network.

By attending, MTHS' Junior Achievement students had the opportunity to network and make professional connections with executives from companies such as Santander Bank, Johnson & Johnson, Goldman Sachs, PSEG, Virtua, and more. Our students attended keynote speaker addresses, and professional panels, worked on interview skills and elevator pitches, and participated in leadership collaborative activities in small groups. It was a great opportunity and experience for our MTHS Junior Achievement!
