The 'maiden' fair will be held in the Tampa Bay area, January 19, 2002. They will also heighten awareness of things students could be doing right now to prepare for their journey. Employers will discuss those activities, even beyond education, that can enable a person to grow professionally in that particular organization or field. Recruiting firms and staffing agencies attending as exhibitors will speak with students about interviewing skills, resume techniques and other bits of wisdom that may help guide them towards ultimate career success. One is never too young to begin learning such skills that can make them shine among their peers.
Event is structured in a 'job fair' atmosphere.
The objective is to expose as many young people as possible to the vast career choices that will be available to them upon completion of their education, whether that is from high school, trade school, or university. A portion of the net proceeds generated by fair sponsors and exhibitors will be donated to the Education Foundations of participating public school systems to support further programs dedicated to the guidance and mentoring of middle and high school students who need a helping hand in making critical decisions regarding their early choices about the many paths available to take that can lead them towards rewarding futures as positive and productive adults. Tampa Bay's proud sponsors, exhibitors, schools, schedule of events, date, time and location will all be listed here soon. To make requests for the Career Discovery Fair to exhibit in your area, please first check with your local public school's Education Foundation to see if they would welcome such an event. If possible, please put them in touch with us directly, or have that information available for us to make contact, at their request.
