Our Vocational Day Career Symposium offers students a chance to gain knowledge and insight into how to make one of the most important decisions of their life. Through messages of hope and inspiration, they were not told "what" to choose as a vocation, but they were shown through real life experiences "how" to choose their vocation.—how to follow their passion. They will be showned how their choices and attitude determine their destiny, not their circumstances. The day will give the students a chance to discuss the "real world" with Rotarians and successful entrepreneurs. Experts in different fields are invited to discuss with the students on an active hands-on manner the different careers and professional jobs that they could choose for their future. Vocational Day 2016 is a day program designed for high school juniors and seniors where they hear from prominent leaders in the community about their careers and leadership. This will be held at the Capistrano Valley District office board room and for some students will be the first time these students see the district office that oversees their schools!

A warm welcome from our Rotary President who explained what Rotary is and how they could get involved will open the event.
