Participants in the BIE alliance in Delaware do more than just talk and listen. Since 1982, when 37 educational, business and professional organizations first met, the Alliance has grown to more than 500 organizations, each with a stake in ensuring its success. The participants from these organizations are volunteers who offer their time and expertise to building bridges between educators and employers for the communities they serve. Expand the knowledge of teachers, counselors and administrators about career opportunities for their students, and the skills required to take advantage of those opportunities. A career discovery program taught in 5th and 6th grade fashioned after the old TV program.
Choices stress self-discipline as a key to future success.
BIE co-sponsors this event with the Department of Labor. Adults and students seeking full or part-time employment meet a variety of potential employers at this annual event and participate in free workshops designed to improve job interview skills.
