Imagine… you are a about to enter high school considering for the first time… 8th grade…
“What careers are out there for me? Why should I study math? What does science really mean after I graduate? Up until now, I’ve been working with my teachers to explore career paths. Now I can live them.”
The Jobing Foundation is proud to announce the pilot program for Experience Your Future Day to be held April 30, 2009 at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Arizona.
Experience Your Future Day is an interactive, hands-on experience…build a platform, rewire a circuit board, give CPR, manufacture a product…all in one place. It is a career experiential learning day designed for early high school students to gain hands-on exposure to a variety of career opportunities and industries. The goal of the program is to show students:
- What it’s really like to work in a particular field
- Career paths and job growth beyond the entry level
- Education required to enter a career
- Hands-on experience with technical skills
- A passion for their future!
This program is a collaborative effort between:
- Jobing Foundation
- Scottsdale Unified School District
- Glendale Union High School District
- Local Employers
- Local Trade and Professional Associations
- Junior Achievement, FBLA, and other local youth organization
