The Workforce Board Lehigh Valley is proud to present its latest initiative, The Business and Industry Podcast! Jenni Silfies, our Youth Ambassador, is the host of this podcast focusing on career options. She will be engaging in conversations with prominent local employers to discuss matters like career paths, training, job opportunities, and potential future opportunities.
This podcast series is designed to inspire and educate other high school students about the diverse career opportunities available in the Lehigh Valley region. Whether you are interested in healthcare, manufacturing, logistics, or technology, our podcast guests will provide you with a wealth of knowledge and guidance on how to pursue your dream career.
By showcasing different businesses and industry leaders in the area, you can learn about the unique challenges and rewards of each profession. You can also gain a better understanding of the skills and knowledge required for success in different fields.
As a student herself, podcast host Jenni is providing a valuable resource for students who are looking to make informed decisions about their future careers. She is helping them to explore their interests and passions and identify the career pathways that are best suited to their skills and abilities. Career pathways are visual representations of a local company’s workforce ladder. These mapping tools can help you understand how you can grow your career within a particular company and what steps you need to take to achieve your goals.
I’m getting ready for Podcast Week #1, opening doors to Business and Industry, and their career pathways to our future. Are you ready?
Jenni Silfies

A huge thank you to Keith Campagna for leading such an energized and engaging session!
One message that really stood out was that job searching isn't just about updating a résumé or practicing interview answers; it's about understanding who you are, what you are genuinely good at, and the kind of work that truly fits you.
Participants walked away with greater clarity about where they are, where they want to go, and one intentional next step forward. And yes... we even talked about dragons.
Thank you, Keith, for reminding us that meaningful career growth starts with self-awareness.
