ROCHESTER, NY — Young Women’s College Prep of Rochester hosted its annual “Cool Women, Hot Jobs” event Friday morning, bringing together nearly 50 accomplished professionals to share their career journeys with local students.

The event aims to inspire and empower students by exposing them to a variety of potential career opportunities.

“It’s really an opportunity to expose the kids, right? They only know what they know, and this is our opportunity to show them what’s out there that they may not even realize is an opportunity for them,” said Director Sheri Webber.

The panel included women from a variety of industries, including real estate, medicine, law and education.
