Welcome to "Career Ignite: Spark Your Future"! This is a program open to all DuPage County middle school students in 7th and 8th grades. Schools have the option to attend one of four shifts: AM or PM on April 15th or 16th. Presenters can attend both days or split colleagues to represent the company/organization during the four available shifts. Short activities, handouts, and other school-safe materials are welcome! JA Exploration Fair is an event where students learn about a range of career options across multiple career clusters. Volunteers share information about their businesses and/or jobs and students ask questions as the speakers or students rotate from station to station. Activities and implementation design will vary based on grade level.
