26/27 Career Exploration Panelist

Calendar Aug 1, 2026 through May 31, 2027
Time 1.00

Description

Help inspire the next generation by sharing your career journey with students. As a Career Exploration Panel volunteer, you'll join a group of professionals from a variety of industries to discuss your profession, educational background, career path, and the experiences that have shaped your success.

During the panel, students will learn about different career options, ask questions, and gain valuable insights into the skills, education, and opportunities available in various fields. By sharing your personal experiences—including challenges, successes, and advice—you can help students make informed decisions about their future education and career goals.

Volunteer Responsibilities:

  • Participate in a moderated panel discussion with other professionals.
  • Share information about your career, daily responsibilities, and career pathway.
  • Discuss the education, training, and skills needed for your profession.
  • Answer student questions and provide encouragement and guidance.
  • Serve as a positive role model by demonstrating professionalism and a commitment to lifelong learning.

No prior speaking experience is required—just a willingness to engage with students and share your unique career journey. Your experience can broaden students' perspectives, spark new interests, and help them envision future possibilities.
