Mentors, Schools, and Families: AIM High needs YOUR help for the Career Fair.
Invite your friends to register here under Career Representatives, or forward them the invitation that each of you has been emailed!
AIM High's Annual Career Fair is right around the corner! On February 15th AIM High students will have an opportunity to meet working professionals and explore various career paths that spark their interest. The range of career opportunities available to the AIM High students is truly limitless, and we want the students to see the many different options they have in their future. The best way we can demonstrate the options available to students after college is to get as many different types of professionals to talk about their career choices. Here's where you come in. Being the great people who not only support AIM High but take an active interest in making the future a better place for our students, we know that YOU know some great people too! Whether they are friends, relatives, coworkers, spouses, neighbors, etc. We are looking for those great individuals to be Career Representatives! The commitment is minimal. All participants need to do is give about two hours of their time on February 15, 2012 and answer some questions on their field, educational background, and the path to reach their current role. While their time with the students may be brief, their impact can last a lifetime!
