Career Activities

Career Fairs - November 9, 2005

To get involved with this career fair, or for more information, contact the consortium at sbeconline.

These special events are typically held to allow students to meet with post-secondary educators, employers and employees, or human resource professionals to learn about education and work opportunities. Career day activities are designed to help students think about their interest and abilities in relation to potential careers.

Careers On Wheels (Links to businesses that would participate in a Careers On Wheels Day.)

All employers that have businesses that use wheels to get around are invited in to present hands-on skills needed to have a career in their field.

Job Shadowing for Teachers - Provides opportunities for students or educators to explore an industry or company to develop their knowledge or workplace skill requirements.

Contextual Projects (Mini-Grants) - Provides opportunities for instructors to plan a project that will connect business and education so students can see that their education will help them in a future career. This gives the students the opportunity to apply their education to a real life situation.

Work-Study - Students alternate or coordinate their high school or post-secondary studies with a job in a field related to their academic or occupational objectives.

Articulation Agreements - Seamless education provides a student the option of moving from one school to another without loss of credit and without replicating or duplication of classes and skills.

WorkKeys Assessments - This assessment measures students academic abilities against those required in real world employment situations.

Classroom Presenters (Shows businesses that have stated they will participate in classroom presentations.)  Employers and employees visit students in the classroom and explain the work in their industry or company.

 

Business & Industries work with us to make these activities happen,
          we thank everyone that participates and helps to make these activities continue.
