✦ Synopsis
The author describes an innovative career development event that has endured for nearly 40 years: Employment Day. This is a consummate collaborative undertaking of school professionals, higher education participants, and the community of employers in the Greater Suffolk County, Long Island, New York, region. It embodies the principles of the American School Counselor Association (ASCA; 2000) national standards, the ASCA (2003) National Model, and the New York State Comprehensive Model (New York State School Counselor Association, 2004) as a culminating activity. Employment Day is an event worth replicating by professional counseling associations.
