• TEMPLATE SCHEDULE

• TIPS FOR SUCCESS

• Middle and High School students participate in field trips to learn about different careers, meet professionals, and learn what education and experience are necessary to work in that field. Field trips take place during the summer and periodically throughout the academic year.

• Field trips focus on career-path building, networking, facilities tours, hands-on activities and opportunities for our students to interact with and learn from professionals.

  Please consider becoming a field trip host for the 2023-24 school year or summer 2024 program! To learn more, contact Caryn Tomljanovich at ctomljanovich@njleep.org or (862) 390-1283.
