Career and Leadership Night with the Padres at Petco Park!


On Tuesday September 10th, high school students from across San Diego Unified were invited to attend a Career and Leadership Night with the San Diego Padres! The night began with a Career Panel consisting of executives from the Padres, Hewlett-Packard and Fox Sports San Diego. Each panel member explained their personal career journey and inspired our students to persevere through obstacles to follow their dreams! During the Career Fair portion of the program students met with executives in small groups to have informal conversations about specific careers and seek career advice from professionals. Students were encouraged to bring their resumes to the event and members of the Padres Human Resources department to review and offer feedback. Thanks to a donation from Hewlett-Packard, 200 of our students attended the event for free. Schools that were represented included San Diego HS, Madison HS, Serra HS, Mission Bay HS, Marcy HS, Lincoln HS, Crawford HS, Scripps Ranch HS, Henry HS, and Hoover HS. After the Career and Leadership program students were invited to stay for the game against the Chicago Cubs that resulted in an extra innings 9-8 victory for our San Diego Padres!
