Career Fair & Outreach Resources
Career Day Presentations
Career Day events routinely provide the opportunity for individuals in different occupations to discuss their education, training, and career pathways in a classroom with students. In some cases, entire classes are assigned the rooms they will navigate through. Other times, students get a list of all the occupations on site and they get to select which rooms they go to. When we attend these events we speak briefly about our own careers and attempt to spend more time discussing the student’s career interests and our resources that can help them investigate those careers.Career Fairs
We can take part in career fairs and expos by setting up a booth that offers informative materials of all of our resources as well as provide a laptop to demo some of our online tools. Just like our conversations at career day events, we speak to students about their career interests and how our resources can help them investigate those career and education opportunities.Selfie Booth
In an effort to energize student engagement when we attend career fairs, we developed what we are calling the “selfie booth.” It includes a backdrop and selfie sticks as well as a variety of 16x20 foam boards that display caricatures in different occupations. Students can “try on” as many occupations as they would like by placing their faces into the cutouts of each caricature and snapping selfies with their own smart phones of cameras.Education Outreach
