Business students at Piscataway High School got the unique opportunity to hear from visitors from Chanel about various aspects of its luxury-brand business!

Representatives from Chanel, which has corporate, manufacturing, and distribution operations in Piscataway, spoke on Thursday, Feb. 19, about fashion, sales, marketing, luxury products, construction, customer service, and other topics. Students in the classes of business teachers Angela Jordan, Alan Smarz, and Justin Critelli asked insightful questions about their guests’ education, training, job paths, and business trends based on what they’ve learned in class.

Two of our visitors were watchmakers, who spoke to students about their highly specialized skill, what it involves, and how they trained to get into their positions. They passed out sample tool kits so students could see the tools and parts that key to their job, as well as “finger cots” that watchmakers use to protect their work from fingerprints.

Thanks to Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and Student Engagement Dr. C. Alex Gray for arranging this partnership with our valued corporate neighbor to give our students real-life insight into the business world.
