What is Exploring?
| Exploring is
a unique career exploration program for young men and women ages 14-20.
It provides students with an opportunity to learn about a wide variety
of career fields and network with professionals already working in those
fields. You get hands-on experience to determine whether or not a
particular career field is right for you. You develop valuable
networking contacts with professionals working in your selected career
fields, and you get to know other teenagers and young adults sharing
your same interests and aspirations. Exploring can be the first step in
identifying career possibilities while having fun in an exciting and
informal environment. |
