Career Fair - Volunteers Needed

Dear Parents and Community Members:

The Plainwell High School Guidance Department  would like to invite you to participate as a presenter in our upcoming Career Fair scheduled for February 20 from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. We are excited to offer this event to  our high school students so they may gather information on career fields.   Many students are aware of the "jobs" they see around them every day, but are not aware of all the career opportunities available.  

The career fair will be in "vendor format" with tables set around the room for you to occupy and provide information.   Students will attend by classroom or during their lunch times and be able to stop and talk with the various people representing career fields.    Below  are sample  questions students may ask:

• What is your career area? 
• What type of work do you do?
• What was involved in preparing/training for your career? Apprenticeship? Certification? Degree?
• What interest & skills areas are good matches for the work you do?
• What is a typical day like for you? -- Are you alone? With People? Is there travel?
• What equipment or tools do you use?
• What continuing education or training have you had to do to stay current?
• What are some possible career paths for someone with your education and training; i.e., what else could you do and where can you grow?
• What’s the employment outlook for your career?   Will it continue to be a demand occupation?
• What is the general wage range for this occupation?   What types of benefits might someone expect in this occupation?
• Are there professional organizations associated with this occupation?  
• What schools offer education or training programs for your career area?

Thank you in advance for your consideration.   If you are interested and able  to participate, please reply by January 18, 2013 to Michelle Neel at: (269) 685-2422 ext. 1506, or mneel@plainwellschools.org. 

 

Sincerely,

PHS Guidance Department
