Our Goal
Our goal is to show our students that there is a magnificent world of possibilities out there. Having a job, most students can understand & want; but building a career is a far more ambiguous idea even for young people. No teenager can fully comprehend, yet, what it means to have a career, or a professional life-path. Many of our students have no significant role models, no self-regulated direction to travel, no optimistic view of their future & are therefore, floundering. Grades have no meaning to them, college is elusive, and they live for today only (hence the recent popular phrase “YOLO”). As you know, this thinking leads to trouble & poor choices.
Purpose Our purpose in offering the fair is to not only provide job opportunities & resources for our students and families, but we also want to provide an exciting & memorable experience that can hopefully, inspire a desire to develop goals and foster some initiative to seek information about potential careers in areas they presently enjoy. It is our belief that having you available to our community will not only offer some resources to utilize and support people in their community to access, but it will inspire and excite our students about the prospects for their futures and planning for that future.
Our students want to work, are craving direction & are excited to have you here. You’ll be encouraging them to choose & showing them the way to an amazing life-path.Career Day Agenda
