Middle School Tour Hosts Needed
One of the ways to encourage young people growing up in the Chippewa Valley to stay here and begin their careers is to give them an opportunity to see those jobs in action right here in the area. This complements the Academic and Career Planning curriculum being taught in local schools, and provides a chance for local employers to give them a taste of the kinds of jobs available right here in the Eau Claire area.
We are currently putting together a list of employers willing to host 2 groups of approximately 20-25 seventh grade students from Eau Claire's DeLong Middle School on Wednesday, March 11 in the afternoon.
The exact schedule and commitment will depend upon the overall response from employers. However, we anticipate we will ask sites to host two consecutive sets of students each for an experience lasting about 60 minutes. Depending upon what's the most appropriate way to showcase your careers, this could include a tour, a hands-on experience or exercise, etc. Since these are middle school students, it will be important for it to be interactive and to keep their attention. Students would be brought to your location by school bus, with the first group likely around 11:45 a.m. and a second around 1:00 p.m. (subject to change).
If interested please email Danielle Kummer and include the following information:
- Which careers you can showcase during the experience
- Your initial thoughts on what kind of experience (tour, interactive exercise, what they would see, etc.)
