Due to continuing concerns related to COVID-19 and large gatherings, Career Ex is going to look different this year. Our contacts at the University have been working diligently to put together an engaging program even if it is from a distance.
Youth will have the opportunity to connect with each other, campus partners, and alumni as they explore career pathways and reflect on their personal journey through a variety of online and offline activities.
Schedule of Events
· Thursday, June 17th : 4 PM - 6 PM—Opening Ceremony – live Zoom event for all participants
· June 18th – 30th: complete Specialist or Generalist activities according to those pathways specifics.
Go on a virtual campus tour, connect with campus partners and alumni, and join virtual team-building activities. More information to come.
· Thursday, July 1st 6 PM: Closing Ceremony – live Zoom event for all participants
Logistics
· Open to youth ages 13 – 19. Youth can pick their own career exploration path (Generalize or Specialize), regardless of age.
· Registration is $50 per youth (no cost to adults). Some scholarships will be available. Youth will be asked to register along with an adult mentor (could be a 4-H Educator, Volunteer, or a family member).
