Ramona students had the unique opportunity to attend a Career Pathways Panel, where they engaged with multimedia professionals from the Los Angeles Chargers organization. The event took place at The Bolt, the Chargers’ state-of-the-art practice facility, and aimed to provide students with valuable insights into various media industry career paths, the essential skills required, and real-world experiences.
