JA Career Speaker - Wisconsin | Northwest Area
To give students an opportunity to learn about four different career paths
JA Career Day provides students the opportunity to learn about a variety of careers in an engaging and hands-on classroom setting.
As a volunteer speaker, you will present the same brief overview (~30 minutes) of your career for up to four groups of students. Presentations should be interactive in nature and include:
- Introductions
- Field/Career that you are in
- What other types of careers are available in your field?
- What do you do?
- What type of education do you need to get into your position?
- What do you like about your career?
- What challenges do you face?
- What are the opportunities for advancement?
- Outlook for career?
Tips:
- Engage and interact with the students. Bring along items to show the students what you do.
- Tell an interesting story about your career.
- Bring an item for kids to take home to promote your business
- Play a game which helps them understand your career.
