I am truly touched each day when I speak with organizations giving back to their communities.  I just got off the phone with an organization that exhibited last year at Experience Your Future Day.  Like a lot of companies, they have been hit by the tough economic times and tighter budgets.  And yet, they are coming back!  Not only are they returning, but they are coming with a bigger and better program for the students. 

Experience Your Future Day 2010 will be nearly twice the size of last year’s event!  The program is a one-day experiential learning day where businesses, government organizations, professional associations, and education all meet in one perfect storm.  Nearly 10,000 8th grade students will be at the University of Phoenix Stadium to learn about future careers from the local business community on Thursday, April 22, 2010.   The businesses understand the need to invest in the future workforce of the Valley for a sustainable economic climate.

Here’s highlights from the 2009 event:

Experience Your Future Day 2010 is presented by the Jobing Foundation.  Current sponsors include Mayo Clinic, CHW Arizona, West-MEC, University of Phoenix Stadium, Cox Communications, and Aaron’s Rents.  For more information, visit www.ExperienceYourFuture.org or call Vicki Steere, Executive Director, at 602.795.2787.
