Teen Career Corner features social media technology in business

Posted

BROOKINGS – Guest speaker Realtor Shane Andersen from the Brookings Home Team powered by Century 21 spoke to teens at February’s “Teen Career Corner” hosted by the Brookings Public Library and sponsored by the Brookings Rotary Club.

Andersen discussed the use of social media technology in marketing a business and to support community growth.

Each month, a volunteer speaker representing a different career field addresses the teens, supported by books and other materials related to the topic.

Rotary’s support also included the purchase of material display racks for the Teen Career Corner on the first floor of the library.

Other speakers have discussed the use of reliable web sites for career information (Kay Norton), and careers in the fine arts (Chuck Bennis) and the military/National Guard (Adam Holtquist).

On March 28, Else Munsterteiger will speak to the young people about careers in the mental health field.

April’s presentation will focus on how to get a summer job.

Before each presentation, the teens are treated to pizza and soda.
