The purpose of your visit is to share information about careers, training, exploration of interests, job responsibilities, educational requirements, interviewing tips, and anything you think would be relevant in your industry. One of the unique aspects of guest speaking is you can talk about local job opportunities and career-specific information which can make an occupation "come alive." We encourage you to bring any examples, materials or media that would be helpful in conveying your information. If you require any special equipment, please let the School-to-Career program manager know ahead of time. The total visitation time is about one hour.
