In a departure from its usual wellness focus, Vanguard Benefits takes a bold step into the world of careers for the month of December, offering a unique and insightful podcast that delves into the diverse journeys of professionals from various backgrounds.

Vanguard Benefits, a leader in promoting positive health, is committed to providing valuable insights and resources to its audience. For December, the spotlight shifts from physical and mental wellness to a theme equally crucial for overall happiness – Careers.

Tommy DiMisa, the Director of Strategic Alliance at Vanguard Benefits, spearheaded this innovative move. Recognizing the significance of career choices in shaping one’s life, he invited Beth Bucheister from CareerDay Inc. to present a thought-provoking session. Beth brought along a cadre of speakers from a recent Career Day event organized at Roslyn High School.

The featured speakers include:

Michael Tedesco from Apprenticeship, Connections and Consulting:  Michael shared many Insights about apprenticeship as a career path and also apprenticeship opportunities that are locally available.

Stacey Nigro, Partner at Stone Studin Young & Nigro: Stacey provided a glimpse into the legal profession which is her second career, how she arrived there, and what she views as the greatest reward. 

Also featured in the podcast is Captain Adam O’Reilly from the US Army, a nine-year helicopter pilot veteran who is now embarking on a new career. Captain O’Reilly shares his knowledge of the 175 jobs available, noting that only 7 jobs in the military are considered Combat positions.

The final guest is Roslyn High School Principal Scott Andrews who shared his point of view on the value of a Career Day.

Each speaker brought a wealth of knowledge and real-world experiences, emphasizing that the road to a fulfilling career is rarely linear. The podcast captures the essence of these diverse narratives, proving that not everyone finds their calling in their first career choice.

In a world where career decisions can be overwhelming, the Vanguard Benefits podcast serves as a guiding light. It encourages viewers to watch, share, and pass on the invaluable insights gleaned from these seasoned professionals. By doing so, we can collectively contribute to helping individuals connect with the right career, fostering a community that values the journey as much as the destination.

As we approach the end of the year, let’s take a moment to reflect on the paths we’ve chosen and those we are yet to explore. Vanguard Benefits continues to lead the way in promoting overall well-being, reminding us that career fulfillment is a crucial component of a balanced and satisfying life.

Watch the podcast, pass it on, and join the movement to empower others on their journey towards finding the right career.
