Sayreville Attends an Enhancing Educational Equity Workshop

Sayreville FBLA had the opportunity to attend a workshop hosted by Enhancing Educational Equity on March 16. Members of this organization spoke to students about their different majors and opportunities in their field of work. In the workshop, presenters answered questions asked by Sayreville FBLA, such as different classes that they recommended to take in high school, college life, and different careers that could stem from their majors. Sayreville FBLA was also provided with the resources that this organization offered, such as free SAT and ACT preparation, mentors from various majors, and additional help to build resumes for future jobs. They were very grateful to gain this insight and these resources.
