What do YOU want to be when you grow up?
Thanks to the incredible support of the DCS community – including parents, relatives, neighbors, friends, and alumni – students at DES enjoyed an engaging and interactive career fair that brought a wide range of professions to life. Volunteers shared their experiences, tools of the trade, and personal journeys, giving students an up-close look at the many paths their futures could take.
From hands-on demonstrations to meaningful conversations, the event sparked curiosity, inspired big dreams, and helped students begin to imagine the possibilities ahead.
