Firsthand Knowledge

Joel Holland thinks a lot about career preparations. As the producer and host of the national teen career show, Streaming Futures, Joel encourages teens to take advantage of career opportunities in high school—just like he’s done himself.

“The courses that helped me the most in high school were in the marketing program,” Joel says. “They were terrific. What I really liked was that the teachers came from business backgrounds themselves, so they really knew about the material. [Also,] the speech and presentation skills I learned in marketing helped me build the confidence necessary to contact and solicit guests for Streaming Futures.”

Joel is still working on his own future, too; in addition to his hosting duties, he is earning a business degree at Babson College.
