HUNTSVILLE — Filling a need to provide teens with the tools to succeed, Huntsville Parks & Recreation is hosting its inaugural Teen Career Summit next month.

The event will be March 13 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Dr. Richard Showers Sr. Recreation Center. Registration is open through March 3.

The Teen Career Summit is free for teens ages 14-18, but space is limited. Families may submit one registration form for up to three children/siblings. Additional children/siblings will require separate forms.

“We are excited to host this event for our youth,” said Parks & Recreation Director James Gossett. “This is a great opportunity for teens and even their parents to learn the skills they need to get ahead in life, from paying bills to job interviews and how to approach interviews with confidence.

“The high schoolers of today will be the leaders of tomorrow, so it’s important that we help equip them with the tools they need to succeed.”

The summit offers a full day of career exploration, interactive workshops and expert guidance. Teens will have the opportunity to explore various career fields, gain practical advice and learn essential skills, from paying bills to acing job interviews.
