Rotary Club Meets College of Canyons’ Harriet Happel
Last week’s Fillmore Rotary guest speaker was Harriet Happel from College of the Canyons. Her position at the college deals with helping students find their career paths. She stated that most of us were only concerned with getting a degree which really didn’t help with a career job, but now with changes in the job market, it’s more important to learn life skills, or tech skills, etc. and get a certificate and get into the work force sooner. As jobs change students can go back to college and learn new skills, get another certificate and get back into the work force. It was surprising to learn that graduates may have as many as 15 careers in their lifetime. Pictured with Harriet is Rotary President Andy Klittich presenting her with a Rotary mug.
