What: Prepare a 3-5 minute introduction of yourself and your business journey to share the story of how you got into your chosen career with middle school students who are enrolled in a career exploration program. The event is set up like speed dating, small tables will be set up with 2-4 students sitting at them. The students will be asking questions of you such as pay, work hours, educational background, courses taken and lessons learned. The professionals will be rotated from group to group about every 10 minutes.
Why: Pay it forward! How awesome would it have been to meet an actual attorney / accountant / engineer / journalist...when you were growing up!
