Career Day


The Archmere Alumni Association and the College Counseling Office of Archmere Academy host two Career events annually for students. These events take place due to the organization of the Career Events Council and the help of many volunteers.

Every fall, shortly before Thanksgiving, we hold Career Experience Day for Seniors. During this day, Senior students are matched up to volunteer hosts who work in fields that are of interest to the students. Most, but not all hosts, have a connection to Archmere: alumna/us, current or former parents, or former faculty. A wide array of work experiences are sought out every year - from Accounting to Zoology. If you would like to know more about Career Experience Day or would like to volunteer to host some students, please contact Marc Albero '91 or Carolyn Doyle College Counselor.

Every Spring, shortly after Easter, we host Career Day for Juniors. The day starts off at the Academy with a Keynote speaker to address the class with the potential challenges and rewards available to them as they move from their teenage life to college to adulthood. During this day, Junior students pick and choose from various fields of interest and attend information sessions. Volunteers speakers host the sessions in classrooms and/or meeting areas to talk about their relevant work and educational experience that got them to where they are today. Alumni have reported greatly enjoying coming back to Archmere as the "teacher" even if it is just for a day. Many interesting questions and answers develop through the course of the session. This day is a good lead-in to the Seniors-to-be for Career Experience Day. If you would like to know more about Career Day or would like to volunteer to host a session, please contact Marc Albero '91 or Carolyn Doyle College Counselor.
