College and Career Readiness Day
April 19 8:30 to 2:00
at DeVry's Addison campus
This is WDSRA's big event for spring. College and Career Readiness Day is a workshop style event. Business people will teach our students about resume writing, interview skills and succeeding in a professional setting. Students will rotate through the speakers. Please see attached.
Sara Williams from Junior Achievement is spearheading the event, which will be held from 8:30 to 2:00 April 19 at DeVry's Addison campus. Students go to school in the morning and schools need to provide transportation to DeVry. DeVry's campus is empty the day of the event and could accommodate up to 500 students. Council members are encouraged to serve as a speaker, greet and network with the students or help Matt Johnson at DeVry with logistics.
Action needed:
We need help identifying professionals to run the workshops. JA will provide a curriculum. The number of volunteers needed depends on the number of students. Council members are encouraged to participate. We are looking for people from a broad range of careers - allow students to interact with professionals, who will talk a bit about their background and educational experience. Contact Sara Williams at JA to get involved: swilliams@jachicago.org
