Career Day

What started out as field research for a pro bono client, sparked a three-year relationship with Detroit Public High Schools. Visiting the schools made me remember how confusing this stage of life can be, especially when choosing a career. When talking with students, I realized they didn’t know much about the advertising industry. That’s when my partner and I rolled up our sleeves and co-founded the Commonwealth//McCann Career Day and Job Shadowing Program. This was our way of introducing students to new career options and recruiting more diverse talent into an industry that lacks inclusivity. You can only be what you see.
