JOBING FOUNDATION’S EXPERIENCE YOUR FUTURE DAY IS RECOGNIZED BY THE GOVERNOR OF ARIZONA
Governor Jan Brewer recognizes day dedicated to exposing Phoenix-area youth to future career opportunities.

PHOENIX (April 9th, 2010)- On April 22nd, 2010, the Arizona Society for Human Resource Management State Council, in conjunction with the Jobing Foundation, will hold the second annual Experience Your Future Day. This event, dedicated to connecting local businesses face-to-face with local youth to show them first hand what it is like to work in different professional industries, was recently issued a proclamation by Arizona Governor Janice Brewer to formally announce April 22nd, 2010 as “Experience Your Future Day.”

“This is an incredibly important milestone for us”, says Vicki Steere, Executive Director of the Jobing Foundation. “We are thrilled to see Governor Brewer and the state of Arizona show their support for the readiness of tomorrow’s workforce.”

Experience Your Future Day provides a forum where over 8,500 8th grade students will meet face-to-face with over 90 local companies to gain knowledge of what these organizations do, and the responsibilities of their different employees, in an effort to help shape their career goals and objectives. This is a cooperative educational event supported by participating school districts (Avondale Elementary School District, Creighton Elementary School District, Glendale Elementary School District, Littleton Elementary School District, Peoria Unified School District, Riverside Elementary School District, Scottsdale Unified School District, Washington Elementary School District), the Jobing Foundation and local-area employers.

Experience Your Future Day is being held April 22nd, 2010, from 9am-2pm at the University of Phoenix Stadium. The event is NOT open to the public, only students from participating districts and registered employers will be permitted entry. Sponsor & exhibitor spaces are still available for local employers, educators and professional associations. Scholarships are available on an as-need basis.
