During this one-day event, presentations on career advising in middle school, leveraging business advisory councils, building financial literacy and entrepreneurial mindset, and the development of high quality work-based learning in your school will be provided. You will leave with innovative ideas and resources for kicking off the school year!
Learn how Great Oaks Career Campuses staff created resources that students, families, enrollment specialists, counselors, CT instructors, special education teachers and affiliated school staff can use to explore a career pathway. During this session, you will learn the steps we followed in creating new resources to assist students in starting their career journey. The goal is for students to start thinking and talking about career options at an earlier age. We will show how our career exploration activity book and career tech program infosheets can be used to guide student in selecting a career pathway.
